[284] 58 τὸ δὲ „μετ’ εἰρήνης τραφεὶς“ οὐκ ἀπὸ σκοποῦ ¹² προσδιώρισται, ἀλλ’ ὅτι σχεδὸν τὸ πλεῖστον ἀνθρώπων γένος ἐπὶ πολέμῳ καὶ τοῖς ἐκ πολέμου κακοῖς πᾶσι τρέφεται. πόλεμος δ’ ὁ μὲν ἀπὸ τῶν ἐκτός ἐστιν, ὃν ἀδοξία καὶ πενία καὶ δυσγένεια καὶ τὰ ὁμοιότροπα ἐπάγουσιν, ὁ δ’ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐμφυλίων, κατὰ μὲν τὸ σῶμα ἀσθένειαι,
λῶβαι, πηρώσεις παντελεῖς καὶ κηρῶν σωρὸς ἄλλων ἀμυθήτων, κατὰ δὲ τὴν ψυχὴν πάθη, νοσήματα, ἀρρωστήματα, δι’ ἀφροσύνης καὶ ἀδικίας καὶ τῶν ὁμοτυράννων χαλεπαὶ καὶ βαρύταται ἐπαναστάσεις καὶ ἀκαθαίρετοι δυναστεῖαι.

On the question, Who is the Heir of Divine Things First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 284 focus

And the expression, "After having lived in peace," is used with much propriety; because nearly all or the greater portion of the human race lives rather in war and among all the evils of war. And of wars, one kind proceeds from external enemies, and is brought on by want of reputation, and by lowness of origin, and by other things of that kind. But another kind arises from one’s domestic enemies; some about the body, such as weaknesses, stains, all kinds of mutilations, and a whole body of other unspeakable evils; and others affecting the soul, such as passions, diseases, infirmities, terrible and most grievous inflictions, and incurable calamities arising from folly and injustice, and other similar evils.
