ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ὡς ἔτυχε, καὶ περὶ τοὺς ἀναξίους, τὰ δημόσια δαπανῶν πλειόνων εἰκότως ἐδεῖτο χρημάτων, καὶ τὰς τῶν ἐπαρχιῶν ἡγεμονίας ὠνίους προυτίθει τοῖς προσιοῦσι, δόξῃ μὲν ἢ βίῳ σπουδαίῳ παντάπασιν οὐ προσέχων, ἐπιτήδειον δὲ κρίνων τὸν ἀργύριον προσάγοντα πλέον. καὶ ἦν ἰδεῖν ἀργυραμοιβοὺς καὶ ὀβολοστάτας καὶ ἄλλους ἐπ’ ἀγορᾶς τὰ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αἰσχρότατα μετιόντας ἐπιφερομένους τὰ τῶν ἀρχῶν σύμβολα καὶ τοῖς πλείονα ἔχουσι χρήματα τὰς ἐπαρχίας παραδιδόντας.
