ὃ δὲ πάντων ἄλγιστον, ὅταν τις ἴδῃ χωριζομένους ἀπʼ ἀλλήλων μὴ μόνον πολίτας ἀπὸ πολιτῶν ἀλλὰ καὶ γυναῖκας ἀπʼ ἀνδρῶν καὶ θυγατέρας ἀπὸ μητέρων καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν συγγένειαν διαλυομένην, ὃ πολλοῖς τῶν ἡμετέρων πολιτῶν διὰ τὴν ἀπορίαν συμβέβηκεν· ὁ γὰρ κοινὸς βίος ἀπολωλὼς ἰδίας τὰς ἐλπίδας ἕκαστον ἡμῶν ἔχειν πεποίηκεν.
