χρημάτων ἀποβολὴ καὶ
τέκνων θάνατοι καὶ περὶ πολιτικὰς πράξεις δυσημερίαι καὶ ἀποτεύξεις πληγαὶ
θεοῦ καὶ προσβολαὶ δαίμονος λέγονται. ὅθεν οὐδὲ τολμᾷ βοηθεῖν οὐδὲ
διαλύειν τὸ συμβεβηκὸς οὐδὲ θεραπεύειν οὐδ᾽ ἀντιτάττεσθαι, μὴ δόξῃ
θεομαχεῖν καὶ ἀντιτείνειν κολαζόμενος, ἀλλ᾽
ὠθεῖται μὲν ἔξω νοσοῦντος ὁ ἰατρός, ἀποκλείεται δὲ πενθοῦντος ὁ
νουθετῶν καὶ παραμυθούμενος φιλόσοφος. ‘ἔα με’ φησὶν ‘ἄνθρωπε
διδόναι δίκην, τὸν ἀσεβῆ , τὸν ἐπάρατον, τὸν θεοῖς καὶ δαίμοσι
μεμισημένον. ’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1888. 1.
