ὥστε ἴσως ἀναγκασθησόμεθα ἐκβαλεῖν ἐκ τῶν πόλεων τῷ λόγῳ τοὺς κομψοὺς πένητας, ἵνα παρέχωμεν τῷ ὄντι καθʼ Ὅμηρον τὰς πόλεις εὖ ναιεταώσας, ὑπὸ μόνων τῶν μακαρίων οἰκουμένας, ἐντὸς δὲ τείχους οὐδένα ἐάσομεν, ὡς ἔοικεν, ἐλεύθερον ἐργάτην. ἀλλὰ τοὺς τοιούτους ἅπαντας τί δράσομεν; ἢ διασπείραντες ἐν τῇ χώρᾳ κατοικιοῦμεν, καθάπερ Ἀθηναίους φασὶ νέμεσθαι καθʼ ὅλην τὴν Ἀττικὴν τὸ παλαιόν, καὶ πάλιν ὕστερον τυραννήσαντος Πεισιστράτου;
