  • ὤφθη δ’ οὐδεὶσ οὕτωσ ἀμνήμων τῆσ πατρίδοσ, ὡσ ἐν ἄλλῃ πόλει γενόμενοσ ἀμελεῖν, ἀλλ’ οἳ τε κακοπραγοῦντεσ ἐν ταῖσ ἀποδημίαισ συνεχῶσ ἀνακαλοῦσιν ὡσ μέγιστον τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἡ πατρίσ, οἵ τε εὐδαιμονοῦντεσ, ἂν καὶ τὰ ἄλλα εὖ πράττωσιν, τοῦτο γοῦν αὐτοῖσ μέγιστον ἐνδεῖν νομίζουσιν τὸ μὴ τὴν πατρίδα οἰκεῖν, ἀλλὰ ξενιτεύειν ὄνειδοσ γὰρ τὸ τῆσ ξενιτείασ.
