[85] 15 Ἐπεὶ δ’ ἐχθρῶν διττὸν εἶδος, τὸ μὲν ἀνθρώπων ἐκ πλεονεξίας ἐπιτηδεύσει γεγονός, τὸ δὲ θηρίων ἄνευ ἐπιτηδεύσεως ἀλλοτριότητι χρώμενον φυσικῇ, περὶ ἑκατέρου λεκτέον ἐν μέρει, καὶ πρότερόν γε τοῦ κατὰ τοὺς φύσει πολεμίους θῆρας· οὗτοι γὰρ οὐ μιᾶς πόλεως ἢ
ἔθνους ἑνός, ἀλλὰ τοῦ σύμπαντος ἀνθρώπων γένους δυσμενεῖς εἰσιν, οὐ πρὸς p. 422 M. ὡρισμένου χρόνου μῆκος, ἀλλὰ τὸν ἀόριστον καὶ ἀπερίγραφον αἰῶνα.

But since there are also two classes of enemies—the one being men, who are so deliberately, out of covetousness; the other being beasts, who are not so out of any deliberate purpose, or through study, but as being endowed with a nature utterly alien to ours—we must proceed to speak of them both in turn, and we will take, in the first place, the beasts which are our natural enemies; for these are hostile not to one city, or to one nation, but to the whole race of mankind, and that too not for any definite or limited period of time, but for an indefinite and illimitable eternity.
