καὶ πότερον οἴει πλείους ὑπὸ κυνῶν βλαβῆναι πονηρῶν ἢ ὑπʼ ἀνθρώπων; ὑπὸ μένγε κυνῶν φαύλων ἕνα τὸν Ἀκταίωνά φασιν ἀπολέσθαι, καὶ τούτων μανέντων· ὑπὸ δὲ ἀνθρώπων φαύλων οὐδὲ εἰπεῖν ἔστιν ὅσοι ἀπολώλασι καὶ ἰδιῶται καὶ βασιλεῖς καὶ πόλεις ὅλαι, οἱ μὲν ὑπὸ οἰκετῶν, οἱ δὲ ὑπὸ στρατιωτῶν καὶ δορυφόρων, οἱ δὲ ὑπὸ φίλων τινῶν καλουμένων, οἱ δέ τινες καὶ ὑπὸ υἱέων καὶ ἀδελφῶν καὶ γυναικῶν.
