ὅτι διὰ μὲν τὴν ἐκείνης ἀρετὴν καὶ σωφροσύνην
πολλὰ ἰδίᾳ τε τοῖς ἀνθρώποις καὶ εἰς τὸ
κοινὸν ἀγαθὰ συμβαίνει, ἐκ δὲ δὴ τῆς τούτων φιλοτιμίας
ὄφελος μὲν οὐδὲ ἕν, συμφοραὶ δὲ ἀνήκεστοι.
ἅτε δὴ ὢν οἶμαι σοφὸς καὶ θεῖος ποιητὴς
ταύτην ἔκρινεν ἀμείνω καὶ δικαιοτέραν τὴν εὐφημίαν.
ἆῤ οὖν ἔτι προσῆκον εὐλαβηθῆναι
τοσοῦτον ἡγεμόνα ποιουμένοις, μή τις ἄρα μικροὺς
ὑπολάβῃ καὶ φαύλους;
