[3] αἰτίας οὖν ἔγωγε τρεῖς εἶναι νομίζω φυγῆς, μῖσος, φόβον,
αἰδῶ. μίσει μὲν οὖν καὶ γυναῖκες ἄνδρας καὶ ἄνδρες γυναῖκας ἀπολείπουσι, φόβῳ δὲ τοὺς γονεῖς παῖδες καὶ δεσπότας οἰκέται, αἰδοῖ δὲ τοὺς ἑταίρους, ὁπότε μὴ καθ’ ἡδονήν τι πράξειαν αὐτοῖς, οἱ φίλοι· ἤδη δὲ ¹ καὶ πατέρας οἶδα διὰ τὸ ἁβροδίαιτον αὐστηρὸν καὶ φιλόσοφον βίον παίδων ἐκτραπομένους καὶ δι’ αἰδῶ τὸν ἀγρὸν πρὸ τῆς πόλεως οἰκεῖν ἑλομένους.

[3] I think therefore that there are three causes for flight—hatred, fear, and shame. Now women leave their husbands out of hatred, and for the same reason men desert their wives. But children flee from their parents, and servants from their masters, out of fear. And lastly, friends avoid their companions out of shame, when ¹ they have done anything which is displeasing to them. And before now I have known instances of fathers who have led a life of effeminate luxury, reverencing the austere and philosophical lives of their sons, and out of shame preferring to live in the country rather than in the city.
