[185]
ἐν ἐκείναις μὲν γάρ, οἶμαι, ταῖς πολιτείαις πάντ᾽ ἐξ ἐπιτάγματος ὀξέως γίγνεται: ὑμῖν δὲ πρῶτον μὲν τὴν βουλὴν ἀκοῦσαι περὶ πάντων καὶ προβουλεῦσαι δεῖ, καὶ τοῦθ᾽ ὅταν ᾖ κήρυξι καὶ πρεσβείαις προγεγραμμένον, οὐκ ἀεί: εἶτ᾽ ἐκκλησίαν ποιῆσαι, καὶ ταύτην ὅταν ἐκ τῶν νόμων καθήκῃ. εἶτα κρατῆσαι καὶ περιγενέσθαι δεῖ τοὺς τὰ βέλτιστα λέγοντας τῶν ἢ δι᾽ ἄγνοιαν ἢ διὰ μοχθηρίαν ἀντιλεγόντων.
