  • καταμαθών γε μὴν ὁ Λυκοῦργοσ καὶ ὅτι ἀπὸ τῶν σίτων οἱ μὲν διαπονούμενοι εὖχροί τε καὶ εὔσαρκοι καὶ εὔρωστοί εἰσιν, οἱ δ’ ἄπονοι πεφυσημένοι τε καὶ αἰσχροὶ καὶ ἀσθενεῖσ ἀναφαίνονται, οὐδὲ τούτου ἠμέλησεν, ἀλλ’ ἐννοῶν ὅτι καὶ ὅταν αὐτόσ τισ τῇ ἑαυτοῦ γνώμῃ φιλοπονῇ, ἀρκούντωσ τὸ σῶμα ἔχων ἀναφαίνεται, ἐπέταξε τὸν ἀεὶ πρεσβύτατον ἐν τῷ γυμνασίῳ ἑκάστῳ ἐπιμελεῖσθαι ὡσ μήποτε αὐτοὶ ἐλάττουσ τῶν σιτίων γίγνεσθαι.
