Indica, Fragment 27 line 28-29
-
λιταὶ δὲ καὶ αἱ ταφαὶ καὶ μικρὰ χώματα: ὑπεναντίως δὲ τῇ ἄλλῃ λιτότητι κοσμοῦνται: χρυσοφοροῦσι γὰρ καὶ διαλίθῳ κόσμῳ χρῶνται σινδόνας τε φοροῦσιν εὐανθεῖς, καὶ σκιάδια αὐτοῖς ἕπεται: τὸ γὰρ κάλλος τιμῶντες ἀσκοῦσιν ὅσα καλλωπίζει τὴν ὄψιν: ἀλήθειάν τε ὁμοίως καὶ ἀρετὴν ἀποδέχονται, διόπερ οὐδὲ τῇ ἡλικίᾳ τῶν γερόντων προνομίαν διδόασιν ἂν μὴ καὶ τῷ φρονεῖν πλεονεκτῶσι.
