[613d]
all that you said1 of the unjust? For I am going to say that the just, when
they become older, hold the offices in their own city if they choose, marry
from what families they will, and give their children in marriage to what
families they please, and everything that you said of the one I now repeat
of the other; and in turn I will say of the unjust that the most of them,
even if they escape detection in youth, at the end of their course are
caught and derided, and their old age is made miserable by the contumelies
of strangers and townsfolk.
