[152] 35 ἔπειτ’ οὐ προδοσίας μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ πολλῆς ἀναλγησίας ἐξενηνοχότες ἂν εἶεν δείγματα, εἰ οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι προπολεμήσουσιν, αὐτοὶ δὲ πρὸς τοῖς οἰκείοις πράγμασιν ἔσονται, καὶ οἱ μὲν τοὺς ὑπὲρ τῆς ἐκείνων σωτηρίας ἀγῶνας ἀναρρίπτειν θελήσουσιν, οἱ δὲ οὐδὲ τοὺς ὑπὲρ ἑαυτῶν ἀναδέξονται, καὶ οἱ μὲν ἀσιτίας καὶ χαμευνίας
καὶ τὰς ἄλλας σώματός τε καὶ ψυχῆς κακώσεις ἄσμενοι διὰ τὸν τοῦ νικῆσαι πόθον καρτερήσουσιν, οἱ δὲ κονιάματα καὶ λήρους, κόσμον ἄψυχον, οἰκίαις περιτιθέντες ἢ τὴν κατ’ ἀγροὺς ὀπώραν δρεπόμενοι ¹ καὶ τἀπιλήνῐ ἄγοντες ἢ ταῖς ὁμολογηθείσαις ἔκπαλαι παρθένοις νῦν πρῶτον εἰς ὁμιλίαν ἐρχόμενοι καὶ συνευναζόμενοι ὡς ἐν ἐπιτηδειοτάτῳ τοῦ γαμεῖν καιρῷ διατελοῦσι;

In the next place, will they not have displayed examples, not of treachery only, but of the greatest insensibility, if they allow others to fight in their cause, while they themselves are occupied about their domestic affairs? And shall others be willing to incur contests and dangers in the cause of their safety, which they are afraid to encounter for their own? And shall others cheerfully endure scarcity of provisions, and sleeping on the ground, and other hardships of body and soul, from their desire for victory, while they, covering their houses with stucco and nonsense, so much lifeless ornament, or gathering in their harvests from their fields, and celebrating the festival of the vintage, or coming into connection, now for the first time, with virgins who have long since been betrothed to them, and sleeping with them, as if it were the most opportune season for marriage, pass their time in such vanities?
