(9) Οἱ δʼ ἐνοικοῦντες ταῖς μὲν οἰκίαις λαμπροὶ, τοῖς δὲ βίοις λιτοί· πάντες γεωργοὶ, οὐκ ἐργάται· δικαιοσύνην, πίστιν, ξενίαν ἀγαθοὶ διαφυλάξαι· τοῖς δεομένοις τῶν πολιτῶν καὶ τοῖς στιχοπλανή ταις τῶν ἀποδημητικῶν ἀφʼ ὧν ἔχουσιν ἀπαρχόμενοί τε καὶ ἐλευθέρως μεταδιδόντες, ἀλλότριοι πάσης ἀδίκου πλεονεξίας. Καὶ ἐνδιατρῖψαι δὲ ξένοις ἀσφαλεστάτη ἡ πόλις τῶν κατὰ τὴν Βοιωτίαν· ὕπεστι γὰρ αὐθέκαστός τε καὶ παραύστηρος μισοπονηρία διὰ τὴν τῶν κατοικούντων αὐτάρκειάν τε καὶ φιλεργίαν.
