Mark out proper duties
Remember that you are a son
Obey father in all things
Cooperating with him as far as you can!
Remember that you are a brother
Make due concessions to your brother
Be ready to give a larger share of the Will!
Say you are a senator!
Mark out the proper duties
And execute them
Never even blame, moan or groan!
My note:
This piece of Epictetus has similarities to Karma Yoga
philosophy As described in the Bhagavad Gita
Do your duty without regard to the Fruits of it!
Joy = Give / Expect
