οὗτοι τὸν ἄλλον χρόνον τοὺς ἐπιταχθέντας φόρους ἀπεδίδοσαν τοῖς ἐκλογεῦσι τῶν χρημάτων, τοὺς δυνατωτέρους ὧν ἦσαν ὕπαρχοι τιμῶντες ἅμα καὶ δεδιότες· ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐκορέσθησαν ἀγαθῶν καί, ὅπερ φιλεῖ, κόρος ὕβριν ἐγέννησε, πλέον τῆς δυνάμεως φρονήσαντες ἀπαυχενίζουσι τὸ πρῶτον, εἶθ’ οἷα κακοὶ δοῦλοι δεσπόταις τοῖς ἑαυτῶν ἐπιτίθενται στάσει πιστεύσαντες ἢ ῥώμῃ.
