[213] τὸ κάλλιστον καὶ τιμιώτατον ἔκπωμα τοῦ δεσπότου, ἐν ᾧ προπόσεις προὔπινεν ὑμῖν, κεκλόφατε οἱ λίαν εὐχάριστοι, οἱ λίαν εἰρηνικοί, οἱ μηδ’ ὄνομα κατασκοπῆς εἰδότες, οἱ διττὸν ἀργύριον εἰς ἀπόδοσιν τοῦ προτέρου κεκομικότες, ἐνέδραν ὡς ἔοικε καὶ δέλεαρ ἐπὶ
θήραν καὶ ἁρπαγὴν πλειόνων. ἀλλ’ οὐκ εἰς ἅπαν εὐοδεῖ κακία, λανθάνειν δ’ ἀεὶ τεχνάζουσα καταφωρᾶται.“

On the Life of a Man occupied with Affairs of State, or on Joseph First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 213 focus

[213] you, you very grateful and very peaceful men, have stolen the most beautiful and most valuable drinking cup belonging to my master, the very cup in which he pledged you; you who did not even know what was meant by the name of spy, and who brought back double money to restore that which you had previously paid and professed to have found in your sacks,—a trick, as it should seem, and a bait to enable you to catch and snare a more valuable prize; but wickedness does not always prosper, but though always endeavouring to escape notice it is detected."
