Vat.gr.1

the lead in both fear and whatever else: and may a good leader be given to us in all things on the ships. For [one] must hold the [the ship] of the storm-tossed [sea] only on the stele. Instead of learning to count, or every but the art is said to be on a stele: concern: not at all. For if one has this [knowledge] regarding the craft [that one is] being taught: for why should one [concern oneself] with the excess. I say that the city rightly holds [its principles] on a stele: or clearly [as a] ruling principle. And we will bind the beasts [that are] learned from the drunken herdsman: and to all [it is] evident: that this same [is] the wisdom. And in no way [governed] by men who are rulers. But who would strongly say: What then? Indeed, the sciences adorn the person. Or for there is no use [in them]. Nor of us towards the most friendly. But he who does not have rulers, or [those who are] not obedient to them, [would] scarcely be blessed, [like] a pig: but if a ruler [is] not a just ruler of those [who are] sensible. But those drunken people of such a sort, sleeping such a thing, what do we think to have? Not at all [if] it is not necessary, for the festive [spirit] might become the greatest [good], rightly occurring, not [as] a matter of such sleeping ones: may he have all the many benefits of the sleepers. Not only if the honors [are] with them: and from the beginning: therefore this alone, rightly occurring, but if of pleasure, anyone would behold.

And furthermore all [to treat] holy songs [as] heroic. And we almost wish [that] it might not rightly be said to be joyous. What then? To make the parts for us, scarcely, for not by chance [do] all [things] proceed similarly, the song through the day of the day: having looked at all these: [for] one who might [do so] later again. For we, just as we will say just now, perhaps accepting nothing of these [as] happening, only [accepting] what is right and not happening in them: to which [belongs] order. But [as for] me speaking, first to learn. For [as for] knowing what is advantageous and all common goods, whence not like a breastplate, you will see rulers ruling, we say: for everyone, so: and indeed we were saying, and do you remember the battle, the ruler to be [in] the race: and everyone, so: the ruler [is] flustered [by] the ruler saying [things] under fear: and this [is] thus: to which indeed why should one not at all fearing, nor being flustered, rise up [to] be done, [is it] true? Are we not touching these in every way? Strongly indeed: do not say anything from the slave to the ruler, [regarding] the body of men, the one not hostile to enemies with reason. But the virtue of friends, [when] sleeping, [is] beloved [in its] philanthropy:
