Πάντες μὲν οὖν τῷ προεστῶτι προσέχουσι, καὶ ὅσα κελεύσει ὡς νόμῳ πείθονται. ἐσπουδάκασι γὰρ πρὸς τὸ ἐλεεῖν καὶ βοηθεῖν τοῖς καταπονουμένοις. πρὸ δὲ πάντων ῤγῆς ἀπέχουσι καὶ θυμοῦ καὶ πάντων τῶν ὁμοίων, ἐπίβουλα ταῦτα τοῦ ἀνθρώπου κρίνοντες. οὐδεὶς δὲ ὄμνυσι παρ’ αὐτοῖς, ὄσα δ᾿ ἄν τις εἴπῃ, τοῦτο ὅρκου ἰσχυρότερον κρίνεται. εἰ δὲ ὁμόσει τις, καταγινώσκεται ὡς μὴ πιστευθείς <δίχα θεοῦ>.
