καὶ γὰρ ἐκείνοις ταῦτ᾽ ἂν εἴη μάλιστ᾽ ἐν κόσμῳ καὶ τιμῇ, καὶ πάσῃ τῇ πόλει καὶ τοῖς ζῶσιν ταῦτ᾽ ἂν ἐνέγκοι πλείστην εὐδοξίαν. χαλεπὸν πατρὶ καὶ μητρὶ παίδων στερηθῆναι καὶ ἐρήμοις εἶναι τῶν οἰκειοτάτων γηροτρόφων: σεμνὸν δέ γ᾽ ἀγήρως τιμὰς καὶ μνήμην ἀρετῆς δημοσίᾳ κτησαμένους ἐπιδεῖν, καὶ θυσιῶν καὶ ἀγώνων ἠξιωμένους ἀθανάτων.
