"ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἔστι τούτῳ λοιπὸν οὐκ οἰκία, οὐ συνοικία, οὐ συνοικία, οὐ χωρίον, οὐκ οἰκέται, οὐ δάνεισμα, οὐκ ἄλλ᾽ οὐδὲν ἀφ᾽ ὧν ἄνθρωποι μὴ κακοῦργοι ζῶσιν. ἀλλὰ τούτῳ ἀντὶ τῶν πατρῴων περίεστι βδελυρία, συκοφαντία, θράσος, τρυφή, δειλία, ἀναίδεια, τὸ μὴ ἐπίστασθαι ἐρυθριᾶν ἐπὶ τοῖς αἰσχροῖς: ἐξ ὧν ἂν ὁ κάκιστος καὶ ἀλυσιτελέστατος πολίτης γένοιτο."
