ἐγὼ δὲ πρὸς τὴν τούτων βασκανίαν καὶ πικρίαν ἐκεῖνα λέξω· τῶν καταθυόντων παῖδας οἱ μὲν ἔθει τοῦτο δρῶσιν, ὥσπερ ἐνίους ἔφασκον τῶν βαρβάρων, οἱ δὲ δι’ ἀβουλήτους καὶ μεγάλας ὑποθέσεις πόλεών τε καὶ χωρῶν ἑτέρως κατορθοῦσθαι μὴ δυναμένων, ὧν οἱ μὲν ἀνάγκῃ τοὺς αὑτῶν ἐπιδιδόασιν ὑπὸ δυνατωτέρων βιασθέντες, οἱ δὲ δόξης καὶ τιμῆς ἐφιέμενοι καὶ εὐκλείας μὲν τῆς ἐν τῷ παρόντι, εὐφημίας δὲ τῆς εἰς ὕστερον.
