εἰκὸς ἕπεσθαι τοῖς κοινοῖς τὰ ἰδιωτικά· εὐθύνομεν γοῦν τὰ ἴδια πρὸς ἐκεῖνα, καὶ ὁ νόμος οὕτω κελεύει. πῶς οὖν αἱ μὲν πόλεις οὐκ ὀκνοῦσι λαμβάνουσαι παρὰ τῶν διδόντων ἀναθήματά τε καὶ χρήματα καὶ ἀργύριον αὐτὸ πολιτῶν τε καὶ ξένων, ἤδη δέ τινας καὶ αὑτούς πως ὑποδιδόντας, φίλος δὲ δὴ παρὰ φίλου λαβεῖν ὀκνεῖ παρακαλοῦντος;
