‘ πρὸς μετάνοιαν ἐνδίδωσι,
καὶ χρόνον διδόναι οἷς οὐκ ἄκρατος οὐδ᾽ ἄτρεπτος ἡ κακία πέφυκε
προσιζάνειν. ἅτε γὰρ εἰδώς, ὅσην μοῖραν ἀρετῆς ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ φερόμεναι
πρὸς γένεσιν αἱ ψυχαὶ βαδίζουσι, καὶ τὸ
γενναῖον ὡς ἰσχυρὸν αὐταῖς καὶ οὐκ ἐξίτηλον ἐμπέφυκεν, ἐξανθεῖ δὲ
τὴν κακίαν παρὰ φύσιν ὑπὸ τροφῆς καὶ ὁμιλίας φαύλης φθειρόμενον εἶτα
[p. 426]
