[132] τοῦ μὲν οὖν προτέρου τμήματος
ὑπηρέτης ὁ Λευίτης ἐστί· τὰς γὰρ λειτουργίας ἁπάσας ἀναδέχεται, ὅσαι πρὸς ἱερωσύνην ἀναφέρονται τελείαν, καθ’ ἣν διασυνίσταται καὶ γνωρίζεται τὸ θνητὸν θεῷ, ἢ δι’ ὁλοκαυτωμάτων ἢ διὰ σωτηρίων ἢ διὰ μετανοίας ἁμαρτημάτων· τοῦ δὲ δευτέρου καὶ κολαστηρίου τμήματος οἱ τὸν ἀκούσιον φόνον δρῶντες ὑπηρέται γεγόνασι.

But of the other and punishing division of the legislative power, those who have committed unintentional homicide are the ministers.
