[36] ὁ δ’ αὐτὸς καὶ θηριάλωτος
εἰσάγεται· θηρίον δὲ ἀτίθασον ἡ λοχῶσα κενοδοξία συναρπάζουσα καὶ διαφθείρουσα τοὺς χρωμένους. οἱ δ’ ὠνησάμενοι καὶ πιπράσκουσιν· οὐ γὰρ εἷς δεσπότης τῶν πολιτευομένων, ἀλλ’ ὄχλος, ἐξ ἑτέρων ἕτεροι κατά τινας ἐφεδρείας καὶ διαδοχάς· οἱ δὲ τρίπρατοι κακῶν θεραπόντων τρόπον ἀλλάττουσι τοὺς κυρίους οὐχ ὑπομένοντες τοὺς προτέρους
διὰ τὴν ἁψίκορον καὶ φιλόκαινον τῶν ἠθῶν ἀνωμαλίαν.

[36] The same person is also represented as having been torn by wild beasts; and vainglory, which lies in wait for a man, is an untameable wild beast, tearing and destroying all who give into it. And they who have been purchasers are likewise sellers; for there is one master only to the citizens who live in any city; but there is a multitude of masters, one succeeding another in a certain succession and regular order. But those who have been sold three times change their masters like bad slaves, not remaining with their original ones, by reason of the speedily satisfied irregularity of their dispositions, always thirsting after novelty.
