ἃς πάσας μὲν διεξιὼν πολὺν ὄχλον ἐμαυτῷ τʼ ἂν παράσχοιμι καὶ τοῖς ἀκούουσιν, μίαν δὲ μόνον εἰπών, ἣν ἀγαπῶσι καὶ περὶ ἣν μάλιστα σπουδάζουσιν, οἶμαι δηλώσειν ἅπαντα τὸν τρόπον αὐτῶν. ἐκεῖνοι γὰρ καθʼ ἑκάστην τὴν ἡμέραν εὐθὺς ἐξ εὐνῆς ἐκπέμπουσι τοὺς παῖδας, μεθʼ ὧν ἂν ἕκαστοι βουληθῶσι, λόγῳ μὲν ἐπὶ θήραν, ἔργῳ δʼ ἐπὶ κλωπείαν τῶν ἐν τοῖς ἀγροῖς κατοικούντων·

[211] “Were I to go through all of these practices, I should greatly fatigue both myself and my hearers, but if I mention only a single one—one which they cherish most and by which they set most store—I think that I can put before you their whole manner of life. For every day they send out their boys, from the very cradle, as it were, with such companions as each may prefer, ostensibly to hunt, but in reality to steal¹ the property of the people who live in the country.
