[149] (Deut. 20,5—7). 34 διὰ τί γάρ, εἴποιμ’ ἂν, ὦ θαυμασιώτατε, οὐχὶ ¹ τούτους μᾶλλον ἑτέρων εἰς τὸν ἀγῶνα τοῦ πολέμου κατατάττειν ἀξιοῖς, οἳ γύναια καὶ οἰκίας καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ τὴν ἄλλην κτῆσιν ἀφθονωτάτην περιπεποίηνται; τοὺς γὰρ περὶ τῆς τούτων ἀσφαλείας κινδύνους, καὶ εἰ πάντως εἶεν βαρύτατοι, κουφότατα οἴσουσιν· ἐπεὶ οἷς γε τῶν
λεχθέντων οὐδὲν πρόσεστιν, ἅτε μηδὲν ἔχοντες ἀναγκαῖον ἐνέχυρον ὄκνῳ καὶ ῥᾳθυμίᾳ τὰ πολλὰ χρήσονται.

For why, I should say, O most excellent man, do you not think it more proper to summon these men to follow you to the contest of war rather than the others, men who have acquired marriages, and houses, and vineyards, and all other kinds of possessions in abundance? For they will most cheerfully undergo dangers, even if they be altogether most formidable, for the sake of the safety of all these things. Since those men who have none of these things which have been enumerated will be very likely to exhibit indifference and inactivity in the war, as having no very important pledges at stake.
