Τί δήποτε τοίνυν οὐχ ὑμνεῖτε τὴν ἀρίστην διανομήν, ἀλλ' ὑμεῖς μάλιστα χαλεπαίνετε, οἱ θεραπαινῶν καὶ οἰκετῶν, καὶ μέντοι καὶ γεωργῶν ἀπολαύοντες ὅτι μάλιστα πλείστων; Ὁ μὲν γὰρ γεωργὸς στέργει τὴν τάξιν ἣν ἔλαχε καὶ ὁ οἰκέτης ὡσαύτως καὶ μέντοι καὶ ὁ χειροτέχνης ἀγαπᾷ τὴν τέχνην καὶ τοὺς πόνους οἷς ξυγκεκλήρωται, ὑμεῖς δὲ τρυφῶντες καὶ ὑπερμαζῶντες καὶ διὰ τῆς ἑτέρων διακονίας παντοδαπῆς χλιδῆς ἀπολαύοντες, λόγοις βλασφήμοις τὸν τούτων κατατοξεύετε χορηγόν·
