σχέσθε, φίλοι,καὶμʼ οἶον ἐάσατε, κηδόμενόν περ, σώζειν ὑμᾶς, καὶ μὴ περιορᾶν ὑπʼ ἀλλήλων κακουμένους. Nῦν δὲ ἐφημέρους σπονδὰς σπενδόμενοι, τριακοντούτιδας, ἀνάπαυλαν κακῶν ἐπορίζοντο ἀμυδρὰν καὶ οὐ πάντῃ ἀσφαλῆ, μέχρις ἂν ἄλλη πρόφασις ἐπιπεσοῦσα πάντα ἄνω καὶ κάτω ἐπιταράξῃ αὗθις. Ἀλλὰ κἂν τὰ ὅπλα ἀποδύσωνται, κἂν εἰρήνην ἄγωσιν, ἄλλος αὗ πόλεμος ἐμπεσὼν τῇ ψυχῇ, οὐ δημόσιος, ἀλλʼ Ἰδιωτικός, οὐ σιδηροφόρων, οὐδὲ πυρφόρων, οὐδὲ νηίτην ἄγων στρατόν, οὐδὲ ἱππικόν, ἀλλὰ γυμνὸς ὅπλων, ἀσίδηρος, ἄπυρος, λυμανεῖται τῇ ψυχῇ, καὶ πολιορκεῖ οὐ τήν, ἐμπιμπλὰς φθόνου καὶ ὀργῆς καὶ θυμοῦ καὶ προπηλακισμοῦ καὶ ἄλλων μυρίων κακῶν.
