οὗ τὸν διαβεβλημένον βίον οὐκ ἀγνοεῖτε. πρὸς τούτους καὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἡμῖν ὁ πόλεμος, εἴ τις οὕτως αὐτὸν καλεῖν βούλοιτο. ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ ἡγοῦμαι ὡς οἱ πλεῖστοι καὶ σχεδὸν πάντες, εἰ μόνον Ἰταλίας ἐπιβαίημεν, ἱκετηρίους θαλλοὺς καὶ τέκνα προτείναντες ὑποστρώσουσιν αὑτοὺς τοῖς ἡμετέροις ποσίν, οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ διὰ δειλίαν καὶ φαυλότητα φεύξονται, ὡς ὑπάρξαι ἐμοί τε ὑμῖν καὶ τὰ ἐκείνων πάντα δοῦναι, ὑμῖν τε ἀδεῶς λαβοῦσι καρποῦσθαι.
