οὐ γὰρ ἄλλως αὐτὰ ἐροῦσιν, ἂν λέγωσιν, ἢ ὡς σημεῖα πενίας, πενίαν αὐτὴν λοιδοροῦντες δῆλον ὅτι καὶ προφέροντες ὡς κακὸν δή τι καὶ δυστυχές, οὐ τῶν ἔργων οὐδέν. ὥστε ἐπειδὴ οὔ φαμεν χεῖρον οὐδὲ δυστυχέστερον πλούτου πενίαν, τοῖς δὲ πολλοῖς ἴσως καὶ ξυμφορώτερον, οὐδὲ τὸ ὄνειδος τοῦ ὀνείδους μᾶλλόν τι βαρυντέον τοῦτʼ ἐκείνου.
