Quotation
οἳ τῆς μὲν βασιλέως χώρας μικρὸν μέρος λυμαίνονται, τὰς δὲ πόλεις τὰς Ἑλληνίδας, εἰς ἣν ἂν εἰσέλθωσιν, ἀναστάτους ποιοῦσι, τοὺς μὲν ἀποκτείνοντες, τοὺς δὲ φυγαδεύοντες, τῶν δὲ τὰς οὐσίας διαρπάζοντες, ἔτι δὲ παῖδας καὶ γυναῖκας ὑβρίζοντες, καὶ τὰς μὲν εὐπρεπεστάτας καταισχύνοντες, τῶν δ᾿ ἄλλων ἃ περὶ τοῖς σώμασιν ἔχουσι περισπῶντες, ὥσθ᾿ ἃς πρότερον οὐδὲ κεκοσμημένας ἦν ἰδεῖν τοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις, ταύτας ὑπὸ πολλῶν ὁρᾶσθαι γυμνάς, ἐνίας δ᾿ αὐτῶν ἐν ῥάκεσι περιφθειρομένας δι᾿ ἔνδειαν τῶν ἀναγκαίων.
