[61] ἀλλὰ τοῖς πυνθανομένοις ἀποκρίνεται· ὦ οὗτοι, τῷ ἄριστα νομοθετήσοντι τέλος ἓν δεῖ προκεῖσθαι, πάντας ὠφελῆσαι τοὺς ἐντυγχάνοντας. οἱ μὲν οὖν εὐμοίρου φύσεως λαχόντες καὶ ἀγωγῆς ἐν πᾶσιν
ἀνυπαιτίου, τὴν μετὰ ταῦθ’ ὁδὸν τοῦ βίου λεωφόρον καὶ εὐθεῖαν εὑρίσκοντες, ἀληθείᾳ συνοδοιπόρῳ χρῶνται, παρ’ ἧς μυηθέντες τὰ περὶ τοῦ ὄντος ἀψευδῆ μυστήρια τῶν γενέσεως οὐδὲν προσαναπλάττουσιν αὐτῷ.

[61] "My good men! A man who would establish the most excellent system of laws, ought to keep one end constantly in view, namely, to do good to all who come within his reach." Those, therefore, who have received a fortunate disposition, and an education in all respects blameless, finding the path of life which proceeds in this direction plain and straight, take truth with them as the companion of their journey; by which they are initiated in the true mysteries relating to the living God, and therefore they never attribute any of the properties of created beings to him.
