[82] καθάπερ γὰρ οἱ τὰ σώματα εὐπαγεῖς, ὅταν τὴν ἐξ ἀθλητικῆς ἄσκησιν προσλάβωσι, νευροῦνται δύναμιν ἀνανταγώνιστον καὶ εὐεξίαν ὑπερβάλλουσαν κτώμενοι, τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον, ὅταν ἀτίθασος καὶ ἀμείλικτος φύσις ἄσκησιν εἰς τὸ ἀνήμερον προσλάβῃ,
διχόθεν ἄβατος καὶ ἀπρόσιτος οἴκτῳ γίνεται, χρηστῷ πάθει καὶ φιλανθρώπῳ.

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.) — 82 focus

[82] For as men who have very strongly knit bodies, when besides their natural strength they add to it the practise of wrestlers, become stronger still, and acquire an irresistible power and a surpassing perfection of body, so in the same manner when an untameable and implacable nature adds habit to its natural ferocity, it becomes inaccessible to, and immovable by any kind of pity or any single respectable or humane feeling.
