[143] πότε γὰρ εἴποις ἂν τὸν ἄτεχνον μάλιστα βλάπτεσθαι; ἆρ’ οὐχ ὅταν πρὸς ἐπιστήμης κατὰ τὸ παντελὲς ἐαθῇ; πότε δὲ τὸν ἀμαθῆ καὶ λίαν ¹ ἀπαίδευτον; οὐχ ὅταν ἀπόλειψιν τὴν ἐπ’ αὐτῷ χρηματίσῃ διδασκαλία p. 219 M. καὶ μάθησις; πότε δὲ τοὺς ἄφρονας κακοδαιμονίζομεν μᾶλλον; οὐχ ὅταν φρόνησις αὐτοὺς εἰσάπαν ἀπώσηται; πότε δὲ τοὺς ἀκολάστους ἢ ἀδίκους; οὐκ ἐπειδὰν σωφροσύνη καὶ δικαιοσύνη φυγὴν ἀίδιον κατ’ αὐτῶν
ψηφίσωνται; πότε δὲ τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς; οὐχ ὅταν εὐσέβεια τῶν ἰδίων ὀργίων ἀποσχοινίσῃ;

Translations (1)

On the Principle that the Worse is accustomed to be always plotting against the Better First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 1. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 143 focus

[143] And when would you say that the ignorant and wholly uninstructed man is most injured? Must it not be when instruction and education complete their desertion of him? When again do we most deplore the condition of the foolish? Is it not when prudence has utterly rejected them? And when do we pronounce intemperate or unjust men, miserable? Is it not when temperance and justice have condemned them to an eternal banishment from their dominion? When do we pronounce the impious, wretched? Is it not when piety has cut them off from her peculiar rites?
