ἐννοήσας οὖν ὅτι φύσει μὲν
ἄνθρωπος οὔτε γέγονεν οὔτ᾽ ἔστιν ἀνήμερον ζῷον
οὐδ᾽ ἄμικτον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐξίσταται τῇ κακίᾳ παρὰ
φύσιν χρώμενος, ἔθεσι δὲ καὶ τόπων καὶ βίων
μεταβολαῖς ἐξημεροῦται, καὶ θηρία δὲ1 διαίτης
κοινωνοῦντα πρᾳοτέρας ἐκδύεται τὸ ἄγριον καὶ χαλεπόν, ἔγνω τοὺς ἄνδρας εἰς γῆν μεταφέρειν ἐκ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ βίου γεύειν ἐπιεικοῦς, συνεθισθέντας ἐν πόλεσιν οἰκεῖν καὶ γεωργεῖν.
