ἐὰν δέ τις ἐπιζητῇ τὴν αἰτίαν, φήσει δεῖν, καθάπερ ἐν εἰρήνῃ προνοεῖν τῶν ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ παρασκευῶν, καὶ ἐν εὐπορίαις τῶν κατ’ ἔνδειαν· ἀδήλους δὲ εἶναι πολέμους καὶ λιμοὺς καὶ συνόλως τοὺς καιροὺς τῶν ἀβουλήτων, εἰς οὓς ἀναγκαῖον εἶναι παρεσκευάσθαι, ἀλλὰ μὴ γενομένων τότε τὴν θεραπείαν ζητεῖν, ὅτ’ οὐδὲν ὄφελος.“
