[124] ὅτι θεασάμενός τινα τῶν ὠνουμένων, ὃν θήλεια νόσος εἶχεν, ἐκ τῆς ὄψεως οὐκ ἄρρενα προσελθὼν ἔφη· „σύ με πρίω· σὺ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς χρείαν ἔχειν μοι δοκεῖς,“ ὡς τὸν μὲν δυσωπηθέντα ἐφ’ οἷς ἑαυτῷ συνῄδει καταδῦναι, τοὺς δὲ ἄλλους τὸ
σὺν εὐτολμίᾳ εὐθυβόλον ἐκπλήττεσθαι. ἆρά γε τῷ τοιούτῳ δουλείαν, ἀλλ’ οὐ μόνον ἐλευθερίαν δίχα ἀνυπευθύνου ἡγεμονίας ἐπιφημιστέον;

Shall we then say that such a man as this was in a state of slavery, and not rather in a state of freedom, only without any irresponsible authority?
