βούλομαι δὲ καὶ τὰ πολιτεύματα ἐξετάσαι τοῦ καλοῦ κἀγαθοῦ τούτου, διʼ ὧν οὐκ ἔσθʼ ὅ τι τῶν δεινοτάτων ἐλλιπὼν φανήσεται· καὶ γὰρ ἀναιδῆ καὶ θρασὺν καὶ κλέπτην καὶ ὑπερήφανον καὶ πάντα μᾶλλον ἢ ἐν δημοκρατίᾳ πολιτεύεσθαι ἐπιτήδειον ὄντʼ αὐτὸν δείξω. καὶ πρῶτον μέν, ἐφʼ ᾧ μέγιστον φρονεῖ, τὴν τῶν χρημάτων εἴσπραξιν ἐξετάσωμεν αὐτοῦ, μὴ τῇ τούτου προσέχοντες ἀλαζονείᾳ τὸν νοῦν, ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμα οἷον γέγονεν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ σκοποῦντες.
