[159] εἰ μὲν γὰρ πρὸς ἐπιθυμίας ἐλαύνεται ἢ ὑφ’ ἡδονῆς δελεάζεται ἢ φόβῳ ἐκκλίνει ἢ λύπῃ στέλλεται ἢ ὑπ’ ὀργῆς τραχηλίζεται, δουλοῖ μὲν αὑτήν, δοῦλον δὲ καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα μυρίων δεσποτῶν ἀπεργάζεται· εἰ δὲ φρονήσει μὲν
ἀμαθίαν, σωφροσύνῃ δ’ ἀκολασίαν, δειλίαν δὲ ἀνδρείᾳ καὶ πλεονεξίαν δικαιοσύνῃ κατηγωνίσατο, τῷ ἀδουλώτῳ καὶ τὸ ἀρχικὸν προσείληφεν. ¹ ὅσαι δὲ μηδετέρας ἰδέας πω μετεσχήκασι,

To Prove that every Man who is virtuous is also free First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 3. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1855.) — 159 focus

[159] For if it is driven to and fro by appetite, or if it is attracted by pleasure, or turned out of the way by fear, or contracted by grief, or tortured by want, it then makes itself a slave, and makes him who possesses such a soul the slave of ten thousand masters. But if it has resisted and subdued ignorance by prudence, and intemperance by temperance, and cowardice by bravery, and covetousness by justice; it then adds to its indomitable free spirit, power and authority.
