[105] ἀντεκτινούσῃ δικαίως καὶ προσηκόντως ἀμειψάμενος. 22 μυρίοι γὰρ ἔξαρνοι παρακαταθηκῶν ἐγένοντο ἱερῶν, τοῖς ἀλλοτρίοις ὡς ἰδίοις ὑπ’ ἀμέτρου
τῆς πλεονεξίας καταχρησάμενοι. σὺ δέ, ὦ γενναῖε, παντὶ σθένει πειρῶ μὴ μόνον ἀσινῆ καὶ ἀκιβδήλευτα φυλάττειν ἃ ἔλαβες, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάσης ἐπιμελείας ἀξιοῦν, ἵν’ ὁ παρακαταθέμενος μηδὲν ἔχῃ τῆς παρὰ σοῦ φυλακῆς αἰτιάσασθαι.

For many men have become wicked in respect of such sacred deposits, having, through their immoderate covetousness improperly used the property of others as their own. But do thou, O good man! endeavour with all thy strength, not only to present what you have received without injury and without adulteration, but also to take even more care than that of such things, that he who has deposited them with you may have no grounds to blame the care which has been exercised by you.
