[113] τὰ μὲν οὖν τῶν ἀνιέρων τούτων ἀγώνων ἆθλα παραχώρησον ἄλλοις, τὰ δὲ τῶν ἱερῶν ὄντως αὐτὸς ἀνάδησαι· ἱεροὺς δὲ μὴ νομίσῃς ἀγῶνας, οὓς αἱ ¹² πόλεις ἐν ταῖς τριετηρίσιν ἄγουσι θέατρα ἀναδειμάμεναι πολλὰς ἀνθρώπων δεξόμενα μυριάδας· ἐν p. 318 M γὰρ τούτοις ἢ ὁ καταπαλαίσας τινὰ καὶ ὕπτιον ἢ πρηνῆ τείνας ἐπὶ γῆν ἢ ὁ πυκτεύειν καὶ παγκρατιάζειν δυνάμενος καὶ μηδεμιᾶς μήτε ὕβρεως μήτε ἀδικίας ἀπεχόμενος φέρεται

[113] Therefore, in all these unholy contests, surrender the prizes to others; but, as for those which are really holy, study yourself to gain the crown in them. And think not those contests holy which the different cities propose in their triennial festivals, when they build theatres and receive many myriads of people; for in those he who has overthrown any one in wrestling, or who has cast him on his back or on his face upon the ground, or he who is very skilful in wrestling or in the pancratium, carries off the first prize, though he may be a man who has never abstained from any act of may violence or of injustice.
