βούλεσθαι μὲν γὰρ τοὺς ὑπηκόους καὶ φονεύειν καὶ μοιχεύειν καὶ τἀναντία πράττειν οἷς νομοθετεῖ, προσποιεῖσθαι δὲ σχηματίζεσθαι καὶ καθυποκρίνεσθαι τὸν σεμνὸν βίον. ταύτῃ γὰρ καὶ τὰς τῶν παρ’ Ἕλλησι φιλοσόφων ὑποθήκας διαβάλλοι ἄν τις τόν τε καρτερικὸν βίον καὶ τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν πάντων, φάσκων ἐναντίως μὲν τοῖς ἀναγεγραμμένοις διατεθεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἀναβεβιωκέναι, προσπεποιῆσθαι δὲ καθ’ ὑπόκρισιν τὸν φιλόσοφον ἑλεῖν βίον.
