ὥσπερ γὰρ τῶν ἐν ταῖς ναυσὶν ἁμαρτημάτων ἃ συμβαίνει περὶ τοὺς πλοῦς, ὅταν μὲν τῶν ναυτῶν τις ἁμάρτῃ, βραχεῖαν τὴν βλάβην ἤνεγκεν, ὅταν δʼ ὁ κυβερνήτης ἀποσφαλῇ, κοινὴν τὴν ἀτυχίαν ἅπασι τοῖς ἐμπλέουσι παρεσκεύασεν, ὡσαύτως τὰ μὲν τῶν ἰδιωτῶν ἁμαρτήματα οὐκ εἰς τὸ πλῆθος, εἰς δʼ αὐτοὺς ἤνεγκε τὰς βλάβας, τὰ δὲ τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ πολιτευομένων εἰς ἅπαντας ἀφικνεῖται.
