πολλὰ δὲ καὶ ἄλλα προστέτακται, νέοις μὲν εἰς ἀποδοχὴν γήρως, πρεσβύταις δ’ εἰς ἐπιμέλειαν νεότητος, καὶ ὑπηκόοις μὲν εἰς πειθαρχίαν ἡγεμόνων, ἡγεμόσι δ’ εἰς ὠφέλειαν τῶν ἀρχομένων, καὶ εὖ μὲν πεπονθόσιν εἰς χαρίτων ἀμοιβάς, ἄρξασι δὲ δωρεῶν εἰς τὸ μὴ ζητεῖν καθάπερ ἐν δανείοις ἀπόδοσιν, καὶ θεράπουσι μὲν εἰς ὑπηρεσίαν φιλοδέσποτον, δεσπόταις δ’ εἰς ἠπιότητα καὶ πρᾳότητα, δι’ ὧν ἐξισοῦται τὸ ἄνισον.
