ὥστʼ ἀναγκάζεσθαι πολεμεῖν μὲν ἅπασι τοῖς πολίταις, μισεῖν δʼ ὑφʼ ὧν οὐδὲν κακὸν πεπόνθασιν, ἀπιστεῖν δὲ τοῖς φίλοις καὶ τοῖς ἑταίροις τοῖς αὑτῶν, παρακατατίθεσθαι δὲ τὴν τῶν σωμάτων σωτηρίαν μισθοφόροις ἀνθρώποις, οὓς οὐδὲ πώποτʼ εἶδον, μηδὲν δʼ ἧττον φοβεῖσθαι τοὺς φυλάττοντας ἢ τοὺς ἐπιβουλεύοντας, οὕτω δʼ ὑπόπτως πρὸς ἅπαντας ἔχειν ὥστε μηδὲ τοῖς οἰκειοτάτοις θαρρεῖν πλησιάζοντας;
