κολάζειν τοὺς μὴ ἀδικήσαντας, ὅπου δὶς ἐπὶ τοῖς αὐτοῖς οὐδὲ τοὺς
δράσαντας δίκαιον: εἴτε ῥᾳθυμίᾳ καταπροέμενοι τὴν τιμωρίαν ἐν τοῖς
πονηροῖς ὀψὲ παρὰ τῶν ἀναιτίων εἰσπράττουσιν, οὐκ εὖ τὸ ἀδίκως τοῦ βραδέως ἀντιλαμβάνουσιν. οἷον

χρυσίον ὅπως θύσῃ τε 2 τῷ θεῷ μεγαλοπρεπῶς καὶ Δελφῶν ἑκάστῳ
διανείμῃ μνᾶς τέσσαρας: ὀργῆς δέ τινος, ὡς ἔοικε, καὶ διαφορᾶς αὐτῷ
γενομένης πρὸς τοὺς αὐτόθι, τὴν μὲν
θυσίαν ἐποιήσατο, ’
