μάρτυρες δὲ οἱ νομοθέται τὴν δευτερεύουσαν θανάτου τιμωρίαν κατὰ τῶν ἐπὶ τοῖς μεγίστοις ἑαλωκότων ὁρίσαντες φυγήν, οὐ δευτερεύουσαν, ὥς γ’ ἐμοὶ δοκεῖ, παρ’ ἀληθείᾳ δικαζούσῃ, πολὺ δὲ ἀργαλεωτέραν, εἴ γε πέρας μὲν κακοπραγιῶν ὁ θάνατος, ἀρχὴ δ’, οὐ πέρας, ἡ φυγὴ καινοτέρων συμφορῶν, ἀνθ’ ἑνὸς τοῦ χωρὶς ἀλγηδόνων μυρίους ἐπάγουσα θανάτους τοὺς σὺν αἰσθήσει.
