ἡ μὲν οὖν φύσις τοῦπράγματος ὁμοία καὶ τὸ ποιεῖν ὁτιοῦν μετὰ ἀπάτης καὶ φενακισμοῦ καὶ τῆς ἐσχάτης μικρολογίας ταὐτό· διαφέρει δʼ, ὅτι τὰ μὲν περὶ τοὺς θεοὺς γιγνόμενα μὴ δεόντως ἀσεβήματα καλεῖται, τὰ δὲ πρὸς ἀλλήλους τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἀδικήματα. τούτων τὴν μὲν ἀσέβειαν ἔστω μὴ προσεῖναι τῷ νῦν ἐξεταζομένῳ πράγματι· τὸ λοιπὸν δέ, εἰ μὴ δοκεῖ φυλακῆς ὑμῖν ἄξιον, ἀφείσθω.
