ἐπιγράψαι δὲ τοὔνομα
θάψαντας οὐκ ἐξῆν τοῦ νεκροῦ, πλὴν ἀνδρὸς ἐν πολέμῳ καὶ γυναικὸς τῶν
ἱερῶν ἀποθανόντων, χρόνον δὲ πένθους ὀλίγον προσώρισεν, ἡμέρας ἕνδεκα:
τῇ δὲ δωδεκάτῃ θύσαντας ἔδει Δήμητρι λύειν τὸ πάθος. οὐδὲν γάρ ἦν
ἀργὸν οὐδὲ ἀφειμένον, ἀλλὰ πᾶσι κατεμίγνυε τοῖς ἀναγκαίοις ἀρετῆς τινα
ζῆλον ἢ κακίας διαβολὴν καὶ κατεπύκνου παραδειγμάτων πλήθει τὴν πόλιν,
οἷς ἀναγκαῖον ἦν ἐντυγχάνοντας ἀεὶ καὶ συντρεφομένους ἄγεσθαι καὶ
κατασχηματίζεσθαι ἰόντας πρὸς τὸ καλόν. [p. 288]
