ἐπεί τοι μηδὲ τὴν βουλὴν αὐτὴν ἡγεῖσθʼ ὁμονοεῖν μηδʼ ὑμᾶς τὸν δῆμον. εἰ γοῦν τις ἐπεξίοι πάντας, δοκεῖ μοι μηδʼ ἂν δύο ἄνδρας εὑρεῖν ἐν τῇ πόλει τὸ αὐτὸ φρονοῦντας, ἀλλʼ ὥσπερ ἔνια τῶν ἀνιάτων καὶ χαλεπῶν νοσημάτων, ἃ διʼ ὅλων εἴωθεν ἔρχεσθαι τῶν σωμάτων καὶ οὐδέν ἐστι μέρος εἰς ὃ μὴ κάτεισιν, οὕτως ἡ τραχύτης αὕτη καὶ τὸ μικροῦ δεῖν ἅπαντας ἀλλήλων ἀπεστράφθαι διαπεφοίτηκε τῆς πόλεως.
