ἐνθυμούμενοί τε δὴ ταῦτα καὶ ὅσα δὴ ἕτερα ἡμῖν εἴρηται πρότερον, ἔτι δὲ τῶν παρακαλούντων ἐπὶ τὰς διαλλαγὰς ἀναμιμνησκόμενοι, ὅτι οὐ παρ᾽ ἡμῖν μόνοις ἤ πρώτοις πενία πρὸς πλοῦτον ἐστασίασε καὶ ταπεινότης πρὸς ἐπιφάνειαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἁπάσαις ὡς εἰπεῖν καὶ μικραῖς καὶ μεγάλαις πόλεσι πολέμιον ὡς τὰ πολλὰ τοῦ πλείονος τοὔλαττον καθίσταται: ἐν αἷς οἱ προεστηκότες τοῦ κοινοῦ μετριάσαντες μὲν ἔσωσαν τὰς πατρίδας, αὐθαδείᾳ δὲ χρησάμενοι μετὰ τῶν ἄλλων ἀγαθῶν καὶ σφᾶς αὐτοὺς διώλεσαν: [2] καὶ ὅτι πᾶν χρῆμα, ὃ ἂν ἐκ πολλῶν σύνθετον ᾖ, νοσεῖν πέφυκε κατά τι τῶν ἑαυτοῦ μορίων, καὶ ἔτι πρὸς τούτοις ὡς οὔτε [p. 343] ἀνθρωπείου σώματος αἰεὶ τὸ κάμνον ἀποτεμεῖν χρὴ μέρος: αἰσχρά τε γὰρ ἡ ὄψις ἂν γίνοιτο τοῦ λειπομένου καὶ ἡ φύσις οὐκ ἐπὶ πολὺ διαρκής: οὔτε πολιτικῆς κοινωνίας τὴν νοσοῦσαν ἐξελαύνειν μοῖραν: οὐ γὰρ ἂν φθάνοι διὰ τῶν ἰδίων μερῶν τὸ σύμπαν ἀπολόμενον σὺν χρόνῳ: τῆς τ᾽ ἀνάγκης ἐνθυμηθέντες ὅσον τὸ κράτος, ᾗ καὶ θεοὶ εἴκουσι μόνῃ, μὴ χαλεπαίνετε πρὸς τὰς τύχας, μηδ᾽ ὡς ἁπάντων ἡμῖν κατ᾽ εὐχὴν ἐσομένων αὐθαδείας ἐμπίμπλασθε καὶ ἀμαθίας, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπικλάσθητε καὶ εἴξατε παραδείγμασι χρησάμενοι τῆς εὐβουλίας μὴ τοῖς ὀθνείοις, ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἡμετέροις αὐτῶν ἔργοις.
