19. λείπεται
δ᾽ ἡμῖν εἰπεῖν ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ Χαρώνδου τελευτῆς, καθ᾽ ἣν ἴδιόν τι
καὶ παράδοξον αὐτῷ συνέβη. ἐπὶ γὰρ τὴν χώραν ἐξιὼν μετὰ ξιφιδίου
διὰ τοὺς λῃστάς, καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἐπάνοδον ἐκκλησίας συνεστώσης καὶ
ταραχῆς ἐν τοῖς πλήθεσι, προσέστη πολυπραγμονῶν τὰ κατὰ τὴν στάσιν.
[2]
νενομοθετηκὼς δ᾽ ἦν μηδένα μεθ᾽ ὅπλου
ἐκκλησιάζειν, καὶ ἐπιλαθόμενος ὅτι τὸ ξίφος παρέζωσται, παρέδωκεν
ἐχθροῖς τισιν ἀφορμὴν κατηγορίας. ὧν ἑνὸς εἰπόντος καταλέλυκας τὸν
ἴδιον νόμον, μὰ Δι᾽, εἶπεν, ἀλλὰ κύριον ποιήσω: καὶ σπασάμενος τὸ
ξιφίδιον ἑαυτὸν ἀπέσφαξεν. ἔνιοι δὲ τῶν συγγραφέων τὴν πρᾶξιν
ταύτην περιτιθέασι Διοκλεῖ τῷ Συρακοσίων νομοθέτῃ.
[3]
ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀρκούντως τὰ
περὶ Χαρώνδαν τὸν νομοθέτην διεληλυθότες βραχέα βουλόμεθα καὶ περὶ
Ζαλεύκου τοῦ νομοθέτου διελθεῖν διά τε τὴν ὁμοίαν προαίρεσιν τοῦ
βίου καὶ τὸ γεγονέναι τοὺς ἄνδρας ἐν πόλεσιν ἀστυγείτοσιν.
