[221] προστάται δὲ καὶ ἐπιμεληταὶ τούτων ἑκατέρων εἰσί τινες οἷα θρεμμάτων ποιμένες, τῶν μὲν ἐκτὸς οἱ φιλοχρήματοι καὶ φιλόδοξοι καὶ στρατηγιῶντες καὶ ὅσοι τὴν ἐπὶ τοῖς πλήθεσι δυναστείαν ἀγαπῶσι, τῶν δὲ περὶ ψυχὴν ὅσοι φιλόκαλοι καὶ φιλάρετοι, μὴ τὰ νόθα πρὸ τῶν
γνησίων ἀλλὰ τὰ γνήσια πρὸ τῶν νόθων ἀγαθὰ αἱρούμενοι.

[221] Moreover, there are overseers and superintendents of each of these flocks, just as there are shepherds to flocks of sheep. Of the flock of external things, the superintendents are those who are fond of money, those who are fond of glory, those who are eager for war, and all those who love authority over multitudes. And the managers of the flock of things concerning the soul are all those who are lovers of virtue and of what is honourable, and who do not prefer spurious good things to genuine ones, but genuine to spurious good.
