Ἔτι τοίνυν καὶ τὸ καὶ χωρία καὶ πραγμάτων ὑποδοχάς. γίνονται δὲ κἀν τούτοις τὰ δίκαια, καὶ παρὰ τὰ χωρία τὸ ἄδικον οὐκ ἐχρῆν ἐνταῦθα ἀποκτεῖναι, καὶ ἑτέρωθι δεινὸν τὸ πραχθὲν καὶ ἐν τούτῳ τῷ χωρίῳ γενόμενον· οἷον ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, κατὰ τὴν ἐμὴν οἰκίαν· ἔστι δὲ ὅτε καὶ τὸ ἐν ἐρημίᾳ δεινότερον, καὶ τὸ ἐν ὄρει χαλεπώτερον. Ἀθήνησιν, ἐν Λακεδαίμονι, παρὰ βαρβάροις, ἐν νηΐ, ἂν τύχῃ, ἐπ᾿ ἄλλου χωρίου. καὶ λοιπὸν εἰδείης ἂν ἀπὸ τῶν τόπων ἐννοίας παρατίθεσθαι δικαίας εἰς τὸ προκείμενον καὶ ψυχαγωγούσας.
