Γέταις τὸ σῶμα καὶ τὴν δύναμιν, ὡς ἔπιεν ὑποχείριος
γενόμενος, εἰπεῖν ‘φεῦ τῆς ἐμῆς κακίας, ὃς δι᾽ ἡδονὴν οὕτω βραχεῖαν
ἐστέρημαι βασιλείας τηλικαύτης.’ καίτοι γε πρὸς φυσικὴν πάθους
ἀνάγκην ἀντιβῆναι παγχάλεπόν ἐστιν: ὅταν δ᾽
ἄνθρωπος ἢ χρημάτων ἕνεκα πλεονεξίας ἢ φθόνῳ πολιτικῆς δόξης καὶ
δυνάμεως ἢ δι᾽ ἡδονήν τινα συνουσίας ἄνομον ἔργον ἐργασάμενος καὶ
δεινόν, εἶτα τοῦ πάθους
