[34] ἔστι δέ τις καὶ κατ’ εἰρήνην πόλεμος τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὅπλοις οὐκ ἀποδέων, ὃν ἀδοξία καὶ πενία καὶ δεινὴ σπάνις τῶν ἀναγκαίων συγκροτοῦσιν, ὑφ’ οὗ βιασθέντες ἐγχειρεῖν καὶ τοῖς
δουλοπρεπεστάτοις ἀναγκάζονται, σκάπτοντες, γεωπονοῦντες, βαναύσους ἐπιτηδεύοντες τέχνας, ὑπηρετοῦντες ἀόκνως ἕνεκα τοῦ παρατρέφεσθαι, πολλάκις δὲ καὶ κατὰ μέσην ἀγορὰν ἀχθοφοροῦντες ἐν ἡλικιωτῶν καὶ συμφοιτητῶν καὶ συνεφήβων ὄψεσιν.

[34] Moreover, there is in peace also another kind of war not wholly dissimilar from that which is carried on under arms, which want or reputation, and poverty, and terrible want of ¹² necessary things excites, by which men are compelled and constrained to put their hands to the most ignominious and slavish tasks, digging and cultivating the ground and labouring at the employments of handicrafts-men, and serving without hesitation for the sake of procuring food to support life; very often even bearing burdens through the middle of the market-place, in the sight of those who are of their own age, and have grown up with them, and been their school-fellows and companions through life.
