καὶ πένησιν ἀφορμαὶ βίου καὶ πλουσίοις ἀπόλαυσις τῶν ὄντων, καὶ πρεσβύταις γηροκομηθῆναι καὶ νέοις ἐν κόσμῳ ζῆν, καὶ τὸ λεγόμενον δὴ τοῦτο πάντα κοινὰ, ὥσπερ τὸ τοῦ ἡλίου φῶς, ὑφ᾽ ᾧ σωζόμεθα. καίτοι πῶς οὐκ ἄλογον τῶν μὲν πολιτευομένων τούτους μάλιστα ἐπαινεῖν οἵτινες ἂν πλείστας ὑμῖν τὰς εὐφροσύνας παρασκευάζωσιν, ἢ θεάματα ἀνευρίσκοντες, ἢ χρήματα νέμοντες, ἢ κοσμοῦντες ἑνί γέ τῳ τρόπῳ τὴν πόλιν, αὐτοὺς δὲ τοσούτων ἀγαθῶν ἑκόντας ἀποστατεῖν, ὥσπερ ἄλλοις τισὶν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς λυμαινομένους;
