[213]
καὶ ταύτης ἤν τις ἐπιδείξῃ παιδείαν μᾶλλον ἀγαπωμένην ἢ σπουδαιοτέραν παρʼ αὐτοῖς εἶναι νομιζομένην, ὁμολογῶ μηδὲν ἀληθὲς εἰρηκέναι μηδὲ περὶ ἑνὸς πώποτε πράγματος. καίτοι τί τῶν τοιούτων ἔργων καλόν ἐστιν ἢ σεμνόν, ἀλλʼ οὐκ αἰσχύνης ἄξιον; πῶς δʼ οὐκ ἀνοήτους χρὴ νομίζειν τοὺς ἐπαινοῦντας τοὺς τοσοῦτον τῶν νόμων τῶν κοινῶν ἐξεστηκότας καὶ μηδὲν τῶν αὐτῶν μήτε τοῖς Ἕλλησι μήτε τοῖς βαρβάροις γιγνώσκοντας;

[213] “If anyone can point out an education which is more cherished by them or by which they set greater store than this, I am willing to grant that there is not a word of truth in what I have said about anything whatsoever. And yet what is there in such conduct that is good or admirable and not, on the contrary, shameful? How can we fail to condemn the folly of those who extol men who have so far departed from our common laws and are in no respect of the same way of thinking as either the Hellenes or the barbarians?
