ἢ οὐχ οἱ κακοὶ ἄνθρωποι βλαβεροί εἰσι τοῖς ἔχουσι καὶ τοῖς χρωμένοις, ἐάν τε Φρύγες ὦσιν ἐάν τε Ἀθηναῖοι, ἐάν τε ἐλεύθεροι ἐάν τε δοῦλοι; καίτοι κύνα μὲν οὐδεὶς κακὸν ἡγούμενος ζητεῖ ἀποδράντα, οἱ δὲ καὶ ἐκβάλλουσιν, ἐὰν ἐπανέλθῃ· ἀνθρώπου δὲ πονηροῦ ἀπαλλαγέντες οὐκ ἀγαπῶσιν, ἀλλὰ πολλὰ πράγματα ἔχουσι καὶ τοῖς ξένοις ἐπιστέλλοντες καὶ αὐτοὶ ἀποδημοῦντες καὶ χρήματα ἀναλίσκοντες, ὅπως λάβωσιν αὐτόν.
