[145] ἢ οὐκ ἀμείνους μὲν τῶν ἀπαιδαγωγήτων οἱ ὑπὸ παιδαγωγῶν
ἐν οἷς ἁμαρτάνουσιν ἐπιπληττόμενοι, ἀμείνους δὲ τῶν ἀνεπιτιμήτων οἱ ὑπὸ διδασκάλων ἐν οἷς περὶ τὰς τέχνας οὐ κατορθοῦσιν ὀνειδιζόμενοι, εὐτυχέστεροι δὲ καὶ κρείττους τῶν ἀνεπιτροπεύτων νέων οἱ μάλιστα μὲν ἐπιστασίας καὶ ἀρχῆς ἀξιωθέντες φυσικῆς, ἣν οἱ γεννήσαντες ἐπὶ τέκνοις κεκλήρωνται, εἰ δὲ μή, δευτέρων γοῦν ἡγεμόνων ἐπιλαχόντες, οὓς
ὀρφανίας ἔλεος ἐπιτρόπους εἴωθε χειροτονεῖν τὴν γονέων ἐν ἅπασι τοῖς συμφέρουσι τάξιν ἐκπλήσοντας;

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.) — 145 focus

[145] Are not those boys who are beaten by their preceptors, for whatever errors they commit, better than those who have no schoolmaster? And are not those who are reproved by their teachers, for all the errors they commit in the arts which they are studying, better than those who receive no such reproof? And are not those young men who have been accounted especially worthy of that natural superintendence and government, which those who are parents exercise over their children, more fortunate and better than those who have had no such protectors? And if they have not such natural protectors, do they not receive guardians as governors in a secondary rank, who are accustomed to be appointed over them out of pity for their orphan state; to fill the place of parents to them in all things that are expedient?
