διὰ γὰρ τούτους τὰ κοινὰ καὶ βλάπτεσθαι πέφυκεν, ἐὰν ὦσι φαῦλοι, καὶ τὰ μέγιστα πάλιν ὠφελεῖσθαι, ἐὰν ὦσιν ἐπιεικεῖς καὶ θέλωσιν ἐμμένειν τοῖς νόμοις. ὡς ἐὰν ἅπαξ δῶτε τοῖς ὑπὲρ τῶν κοινῶν ἐγχειροῦσί τι πράττειν τὸ παρανομεῖν καὶ καταφρονεῖν τῶν ὡρισμένων δικαίων, ἀναγκαῖόν ἐστιν ἅπαντας ἀπολαύειν τοὺς μετέχοντας τῆς πόλεως.
