And do not you out of reverent heart leave the better man behind, and take as your comrade one that is worse, yielding to reverence, and looking to birth, nay, not though one be more kingly.
μη δὲ σύ γ' αἰδόμενος σῇσι φρεσὶ τὸν μὲν ἀρείω καλλείπειν , σὺ δὲ χείρον' ὀπάσσεαι αἰδοῖ εἴκων ἐς γενεὴν ὁρόων , μη δ' εἰ βασιλεύτερός ἐστιν .
μή δέ σύ γε αἰδέομαι σός φρήν ὁ μέν ἀρείων καταλείπω , σύ δέ χείρων ὀπάζω αἰδώς εἴκω εἰς γενεά ὁράω , μή δέ εἰ βασίλειος εἰμί .
