[5] Mores autem neque mitissimi, neque rursus truces atque crudeles; quod illi furem quoque adulantur, hi etiam domesticos invadunt. Satis est severos esse nec blandos, ut non-nunquam etiam conservos iratius intueantur, semper excandescant in exteros. Maxime autem debent in custodia vigilantes conspici, nec erronei,¹sed assidui ²³⁴⁵⁶ et circumspecti magis quam temerarii.⁷Nam illi nisi ⁸quod certum compererunt, non indicant: hi vano strepitu et falsa suspicione concitantur.
