σεμνυνόμενος οἷς ἐνεκαλεῖτο περὶ τοῦ πολέμου πρεσβεύμασι καὶ ψηφίσμασιν.
οὐ πόρρω δὲ τούτου τεταγμένον ἔχει τινὰ χάριν τὸ τῆς ἀντιθέσεως, ὅταν, ἐφ᾽ ᾧ τις ἐγκαλεῖται, τούτου τοὐναντίον
αἰσχρὸν ἀποδεικνύῃ καὶ φαῦλον. ὡς ὁ Λυκοῦργος ἐν Ἀθήναις ἐπὶ τῷ
πεπεικέναι τὸν συκοφάντην ἀργυρίου λοιδορούμενος, ‘εἶτ᾽’ ἔφη
‘ποῖός τις ὑμῖν δοκῶ εἶναι πολίτης, ὃς τοσοῦτον χρόνον τὰ δημόσια
πράττων παρ᾽ ὑμῖν, διδοὺς μᾶλλον ἀδίκως
ἢ ’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1891. 3.
