[124] ἔγωγ’ οὖν ὅταν τινὰ τῶν σπουδαίων διαιτώμενον κατ’ οἰκίαν ἢ κατὰ πόλιν θεάσωμαι, τὴν οἰκίαν
ἢ τὴν πόλιν ἐκείνην εὐδαιμονίζω καὶ οἴομαι τήν τε τῶν παρόντων ἀγαθῶν ἀπόλαυσιν βέβαιον καὶ τὴν τῶν ἀπόντων προσδοκίαν τελεσφορουμένην σχήσειν, τοῦ θεοῦ τὸν ἀπεριόριστον καὶ ἀπερίγραφον πλοῦτον αὑτοῦ διὰ τοὺς ἀξίους καὶ τοῖς ἀναξίοις δωρουμένου· καὶ εὔχομαι ὡς πολυχρονιωτάτους αὐτούς, ἐπειδὴ ἀγήρως οὐκ ἔνεστι, γενέσθαι, νομίζων
ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον παραμένειν ἀνθρώποις τὰ ἀγαθά, ἐφ’ ὅσον ἂν οὗτοι χρόνον ζῆν p. 188 M. δυνηθῶσιν.

[124] Therefore when I see any good man dwelling in any house or city, I pronounce that house or that city happy, and I think that its enjoyment of its present good things is sure, and that its expectation of future happiness will be accomplished, inasmuch as, for the sake of those who are worthy, God will bestow his boundless and illimitable riches even on the unworthy. And I pray that they may live to as great an age as possible, since it is not possible that they should ever grow old, as I expect that good fortune will remain to men as long as these men are able to live in the practise of virtue.
