δυσπρόσοδον μηδὲ τοῖς πολλοῖς χαλεπόν, ἀλλ᾽
ὑπὲρ τῶν ἄλλων ... 1 τοῖς δὲ πολλοῖς εὐμεταχείριστον. ὅθεν οὐδ᾽
οἰκίας αὐτοῦ κλείεσθαι νενόμισται θύραν, ἀλλὰ καὶ νύκτωρ ἀνέῳγε καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡμέραν ὥσπερ λιμὴν καὶ καταφυγὴ τοῖς
δεομένοις. ὅσῳ δὲ μᾶλλον ἐκταπεινοῦται τῷ σχήματι, 2 τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον
αὔξεται τῇ δυνάμει. κοινὸν γὰρ αὐτὸν ἀξιοῦσι τῇ χρείᾳ καὶ πᾶσιν
ἐφικτὸν ὥσπερ βωμὸν εἶναι, τῇ δὲ τιμῇ ποιοῦσιν ἱερὸν καὶ ἅγιον καὶ ἄσυλον: ὅπου κἂν βαδίζων ἐν δημοσίῳ
... , 3 πᾶσι νόμος ἐστὶ καθαίρεσθαι καὶ ἁγνίζεσθαι τὸ σῶμα καθάπερ
μεμιασμένον.
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1889. 2.
