§4.29.1Εἰ ξένος κόσμου ὁ μὴ γνωρίζων τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ ὄντα, οὐχ ἧττον ξένος καὶ ὁ μὴ γνωρίζων τὰ γινόμενα.
If he who does not know what is in the universe is a stranger to the universe, no less a stranger is he who does not know what is happening.
φυγὰς ὁ φεύγων τὸν πολιτικὸν λόγον·
He who flees from the civic reason is an exile.
τυφλὸς ὁ καταμύων τῷ νοερῷ ὄμματι·
He who shuts the eyes of his understanding is blind.
πτωχὸς ὁ ἐνδεὴς ἑτέρου καὶ μὴ πάντα ἔχων παρ’ ἑαυτοῦ τὰ εἰς τὸν βίον χρήσιμα·
He who stands in need of another and does not possess within himself all things useful for life is a pauper.
ἀπόστημα κόσμου ὁ ἀφιστάμενος καὶ χωρίζων ἑαυτὸν τοῦ τῆς κοινῆς φύσεως λόγου διὰ τοῦ δυσαρεστεῖν τοῖς συμβαίνουσιν· ἐκείνη γὰρ φέρει τοῦτο, ἣ καὶ σὲ ἤνεγκεν·
He who rebels and separates himself from the reason of our common nature through dissatisfaction with what happens is an abscess on the universe; for she who brought this to pass is the same nature that also brought you into being.
ἀπόσχισμα πόλεως ὁ τὴν ἰδίαν ψυχὴν τῆς τῶν λογικῶν ἀποσχίζων, μιᾶς οὔσης.
He who cuts off his own soul from the soul of all rational beings, which is one, is a fragment torn from the state.
