[51] σπουδαίων δοῦλος, ἀλλ’ ἐλεύθεροι πάντες. 8 ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς αὐτῆς ἀφορμῆς καὶ ὅτι δοῦλος ὁ ἄφρων ἐστίν, ἐπιδειχθήσεται. ὥσπερ γὰρ ὁ κατὰ μουσικὴν νόμος οὐ δίδωσιν ἰσηγορίαν ἀμούσοις πρὸς μεμουσωμένους οὐδ’ ὁ κατὰ γραμματικὴν ἀγραμμάτοις πρὸς γραμματικοὺς οὐδὲ συνόλως
¹² ὁ τεχνικὸς πρὸς τεχνίτας ἀτέχνοις, οὕτως οὐδ’ ὁ βιωτικὸς νόμος ἰσηγορίας μεταδίδωσι τοῖς κατὰ τὸν βίον ἀπείροις πρὸς ἐμπείρους.

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.) — 51 focus

And from the same principle as a starting-point it will also be clearly shown that the foolish man is a slave; for as the laws which prevail with respect to music do not give those who are ignorant of it a right of speaking about it in terms of equality with those who are well versed in it; nor do the laws respecting grammar give those ignorant of that knowledge a right of speaking about it on terms of equality with those who are well skilled in it; nor, in short, does the law with respect to any art confer such a right on those who are ignorant of it towards those who are learned in it; so also the law which relates to the establishing proper principles of life does not give those who are strangers to any such true principles a right of speaking freely on such topics to those who have studied and learnt them.
