καὶ Κορινθίοις ἐπιστέλλων ἐκεῖνος πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις τοὺς νόμους προσήνεγκεν· «Καλὸν» γὰρ ἔφη «γυναικὸς μὴ ἅπτεσθαι· διὰ δὲ τὰς πορνείας ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἐχέτω, καὶ ἑκάστη τὸν ἴδιον ἄνδρα ἐχέτω.» Ὁρᾶτε, ὅσον τῶν τοῦ φιλοσόφου καὶ τῶν τοῦ σκυτοτόμου νόμων ἐστὶ τὸ διάφορον; Οὗτος μὲν γὰρ καὶ ἑκάστῃ γυναικὶ τὸν ἴδιον ἄνδρα ἔχειν καὶ ἑκάστῳ ἀνδρὶ τὴν ἰδίαν γυναῖκα προσέταξεν· ἐκεῖνος δὲ τῶν ἀνδρῶν ἁπάντων ἁπάσας εἶναι τὰς γυναῖκας κοινάς.
