[81] ἐῶ λέγειν ὅτι, ¹² εἰ καὶ μυρία ἦσαν ἡμαρτηκότες, ὤφειλε τὸν καιρὸν αἰδεσθεὶς τὰς τιμωρίας ὑπερθέσθαι· τοῖς γὰρ ὀρθῶς πολιτευομένοις τῶν ἀρχόντων καὶ μὴ προσποιουμένοις τιμᾶν ἀλλ’ ὄντως τιμῶσι τοὺς εὐεργέτας ἔθος ἐστὶ μηδένα κολάζειν τῶν κατακρίτων, ἄχρις ἂν αἱ ἐπιφανεῖς γενέθλιοι καὶ
πανηγύρεις αὗται τῶν ἐπιφανῶν Σεβαστῶν διεξέλθωσιν.

[81] I omit to mention, that even if they had committed the most countless iniquities, nevertheless the governor ought, out of respect for the season, to have delayed their punishment; for with all rulers, who govern any state on constitutional principles, and who do not seek to acquire a character for audacity, but who do really honour their benefactors, it is the custom to punish no one, even of those who have been lawfully condemned, until the famous festival and assembly, in honour of the birth-day of the illustrious emperor, has passed.
