ἐπειδὴ τοίνυν ὑμῖν ἐγνωκέναι τὰ δίκαια ὑπάρχει, ὅπως καὶ πρᾶξαι ταῦτʼ ἐφʼ ὑμῖν ἔσται δεῖ σκοπεῖν. ἔστι δὲ ταῦτʼ, ἐὰν ὑποληφθῆτε κοινοὶ προστάται τῆς πάντων ἐλευθερίας εἶναι. εἰκότως δέ μοι δοκεῖ χαλεπώτατον ὑμῖν εἶναι πρᾶξαι τὰ δέοντα. τοῖς μὲν γὰρ ἄλλοις ἅπασιν ἀνθρώποις εἷς ἀγών ἐστιν ὁ πρὸς τοὺς προδήλους ἐχθρούς, ὧν ἂν κρατήσωσιν, οὐδὲν ἐμποδὼν αὐτοῖς κυρίοις τῶν ἀγαθῶν εἶναι·
