ἐκ τούτου τοιγαροῦν οἱ τὰς πόλεις οἰκοῦντες πενίᾳ τε καὶ ἀρχόντων κακίᾳ τρυχόμενοι δυστυχῆ καὶ οἴκτιστον ἔτριβον βίον, ἱκετεύοντες τὸν θεὸν καὶ δεόμενοι τῶν τοσούτων αὐτοῖς ἀπαλλαγὴν εὕρασθαι συμφορῶν: ἔτι γὰρ ἦν αὐτοῖς ἄδεια τοῦ φοιτᾶν εἰς τὰ ἱερὰ καὶ τὰ θεῖα κατὰ τοὺς πατρίους θεσμοὺς ἐκμειλίττεσθαι.
