καὶ εἰ μὲν τῷ ὑμετέρῳ πλήθει συνέφερε τοὺς μὲν ἔχειν τὰ αὑτῶν, τῶν δὲ ἀδίκως δεδημεῦσθαι τὴν οὐσίαν, εἰκότως ἂν ἠμελεῖτε τῶν ὑφʼ ἡμῶν λεγομένων· νυνὶ δὲ πάντες ἂν ὁμολογήσαιτε ὁμόνοιαν μὲν μέγιστον ἀγαθὸν εἶναι πόλει, στάσιν δὲ πάντῶν κακῶν αἰτίαν, διαφέρεσθαι δὲ πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἐκ τῶν τοιούτων μάλιστʼ, ἐὰν οἱ μὲν τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐπιθυμῶσιν, οἱ δʼ ἐκ τῶν ὄντων ἐκπίπτωσι.
