  • καθάπερ γὰρ οἱ φυσικοὶ τὸ νεῖκοσ οἰόνταί καὶ τὴν ἔριν, εἰ τῶν ὅλων ἐξαιρεθείη, στῆναι μὲν ἂν τὰ οὐράνια, παύσασθαι δὲ πάντων τὴν γένεσιν καὶ κίνησιν ὑπὸ τῆσ πρὸσ πάντα πάντων ἁρμονίασ, οὕτωσ ἐοίκεν ὁ Λακωνικὸσ νομοθέτησ ὑπέκκαυμα τῆσ ἀρετῆσ ἐμβαλεῖν εἰσ τὴν πολιτείαν τὸ φιλότιμον καὶ φιλόνεικον, ἀεί τινα τοῖσ ἀγαθοῖσ διαφορὰν καὶ ἅμιλλαν εἶναι πρὸσ ἀλλήλουσ βουλόμενοσ, τὴν δὲ ἀνθυπείκουσαν τῷ ἀνελέγκτῳ χάριν ἀργὴν καὶ ἀναγώνιστον οὖσαν οὐκ ὀρθῶσ ὁμόνοιαν λέγεσθαι.
