[43] οἱ δὲ ἑνὶ γένει χαίροντες καὶ ἕνα πατέρα
τὸν ὀρθὸν τιμῶντες λόγον, τὴν εὐάρμοστον καὶ πάμμουσον συμφωνίαν ἀρετῶν τεθαυμακότες, εὔδιον καὶ γαληνὸν βίον ζῶσιν, οὐ μὴν ἀργὸν καὶ ἀγενῆ τινα, ὡς ἔνιοι νομίζουσιν, ἀλλὰ σφόδρα ἀνδρεῖον καὶ λίαν ἠκονημένον κατὰ τῶν σπονδὰς λύειν ἐπιχειρούντων καὶ σύγχυσιν ὁρκίων αἰεὶ μελετώντων· τοὺς γὰρ εἰρηναίους φύσει πολεμικοὺς εἶναι συμβέβηκεν
ἀντικαθημένους καὶ ἀνθεστῶτας τοῖς τὸ εὐσταθὲς τῆς ψυχῆς ἀνατρέπουσι.

[43] but they who rejoice in one kind alone, and who honour one as their father, namely right reason, admiring the well-arranged and all-musical harmony of the virtues, live a tranquil and peaceful life, not an inactive and ignoble one, as some persons think, but one of great manliness, and sharpened, and vigorous against those who endeavour to break the confederacy which they have formed, and who are always studying to bring about a violation of the oaths which have been taken; for it has come to pass that the men of peace have become men of war, sitting down to attack and to oppose those who seek to overturn the firmness of the soul.
