[139] δουλεύοντες γὰρ πικρῶν μὲν ἐπιταγμάτων ὑπηρεσίας ἀναδέξονται τοῖς σώμασι, πικροτέρων δὲ θεαμάτων ἀνίαις κατατεινόμενοι τὰς ψυχὰς ἀπαγορεύσουσιν· ὄψονται γὰρ ὧν συνῳκοδόμησαν ἢ κατεφύτευσαν ἢ περιεποιήσαντο κληρονόμους
γεγονότας ἐχθρούς, ἀλλοτρίων ἀπολαύοντας ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἑτοίμων· ὄψονται καὶ τὰ πίονα τῶν ἰδίων θρεμμάτων εὐωχουμένους, ἱερεύοντας καὶ παραρτύοντας εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν ἡδίστην, οἱ στερόμενοι τοὺς ἀφελομένους· ὄψονται καὶ γυναῖκας, ἃς ἠγάγοντο κουριδίας ἐπὶ γνησίων παίδων σπορᾷ, ¹² σώφρονας καὶ οἰκουροὺς καὶ φιλάνδρους ἑταιρῶν τρόπον ὑβριζομένας. καὶ πρὸς μὲν ἄμυναν ὁρμήσουσιν,

[139] Such men, becoming slaves, endure the services imposed on them by stern commands with their bodies, but when they are oppressed as to their souls with the anguish of still more bitter spectacles, they will sink under them; for they will see their enemies becoming the inheritors of houses which they have built, or of vineyards which they have planted, or of possessions which they have acquired, enjoying the good things and stores which have been prepared by others. And they will see their enemies feasting on the fattest of their cattle, and sacrificing them, and preparing them for the sweetest enjoyment, without being able to deprive those persons of anything who have thus robbed them. They will also see their wives, whom they married in holy wedlock for the purpose of propagating legitimate children, their modest, domestic, affectionate wives, insulted like so many courtesans.
