οὕς περιβάλλει τεῖχος ἕν καὶ πόλις μία, πολεμοῦντας σπενδομένους, ὀμνύντας ἐπιορκοῦντας, συντιθεμιένους μετατιθεμένους, καὶ προφάσεις μικρὰς μεγίστων κακῶν. Oἶς γὰρ ἂν τὸ φιλεῖν τῆς γνώμης ἐκπέσῃ, πάντα ἤδη ἀξιόχρεα κινεῖν ὀργὴν καὶ ταράττειν καθάπερ κοίλην ναῦν ἀφαιρεθεῖσαν τοῦ ἕρματος βραχεῖαι ρροπαὶ σαλεύουσίν τε καὶ περιτρέπουσιν.
