τοιγαροῦν ἐστεφανωμένους πολλοὺς ἰδεῖν ἔστι καθʼ ἑκάστην πόλιν καὶ θύοντας ἐν κοινῷ καὶ προϊόντας ἐνπορφύρᾳ· γενναῖον δὲ καὶ φρόνιμον ἄνδρα καὶ κηδεμόνα ὄντως τῆς ἑαυτοῦ πατρίδος καὶ φρονοῦντα καὶ λέγοντα τἀληθῆ καὶ διʼ ὃν ἄμεινον οἰκεῖται καὶ μετέσχηκεν ἀγαθοῦ τινος ἡ πειθομένη πόλις, σπάνιον εὑρεῖν. καὶ τοῦτο ἀναγκαῖον συμβαίνειν τρόπον τινά.
