[36]
ὃ τοίνυν ἀρχόμενος εἶπον, οὐδ᾽ ἂν νῦν ὀκνήσαιμι εἰπεῖν, ὅτι
πανταχοῦ μὲν οἰκεῖόν ἐστι φαίνεσθαι τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἄνδρας ὑγιεῖς
καὶ μηδὲν παλίμβολον ἔχοντας μηδὲ δυσχερές, ἀλλὰ πλεῖστον ἀπάτης
καὶ πονηρίας ἀπηλλαγμένους: λέγω δὲ τοὺς ὑμῖν ὁμοίους:
μάλιστα δὲ οἶμαι περὶ τὸ τιμᾶν καὶ τὰς δωρεάς. τὸ γὰρ αἰσχύνην
τινὰ προσάπτειν τοῖς καλοῖς καὶ τὸ ἀδίκως ποιεῖν τὸ πάντων
δικαιότατον οὐδ᾽ αἰσθανομένων ἐστὶν ἀνθρώπων τῆς ἑκάστου φύσεως.
ὥσπερ οὖν οἱ παρανομοῦντες εἰς τὰ ἱερὰ τῶν εἰς ἄλλ᾽
ὁτιοῦν ἁμαρτανόντων χείρους εἰσίν, οὕτως οἱ περὶ ταῦτα ἄδικοι
καὶ πονηροὶ φαινόμενοι.
