οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐκεῖνο ἀγνοεῖτε δήπουθεν ὅτι πάντες οἱ νοῦν ἔχοντες τοὺς παλαιοὺς τῶν φίλων μᾶλλον ἀγαπῶσι καὶ περὶ πλείονος ποιοῦνται τῶν διʼ ὀλίγου γεγονότων, καὶ τούς γε πατρικοὺς τῷ παντὶ πλέον ἢ τοὺς ὑφʼ αὑτῶν ἐγνωσμένους. οἱ μὲν γὰρ τὰ πρὸς τούτους παραβαίνοντες μόνους αὐτοὺς ἀδικοῦσιν· οἱ δὲ τῶν πρὸς ἐκείνους τι λύοντες καὶ τῶν κτησαμένων αὐτοὺς ὀλιγωροῦσιν.
