[194] ἐπειδὰν δὲ καὶ τρόπον χώρας τὴν ἀρετὴν εἰς τοὺς οἰκήτορας
αὐτῆς ἐθελήσῃ διανέμειν, τοῖς πλείοσι πλεονάζειν καὶ τοῖς ἐλάττοσιν ἐλαττοῦν τὴν κατάσχεσιν προστάττει (Num. 35, 8), δικαιῶν μήτε τοὺς μείζους ἐλαττόνων ἀξιοῦν—κενοὶ γὰρ ἐπιστήμης ἔσονται—μήτε τοὺς ἐλάττους μειζόνων· χωρῆσαι γὰρ τὸ μέγεθος αὐτῶν οὐ δυνήσονται. ¹

[194] But when, as if it were some country, he wishes to divide out virtue among its inhabitants, he then allows the more numerous body to have more, and the less numerous to have less, thinking it reasonable not to allot a larger share to a ¹² smaller number, nor a smaller share to a larger number; for in such a case they would neither of them be suited to their respective portions.
