如果您希望自己的房子得到良好的管理,请模仿斯巴达·莱卡格斯(Spartan Lycurgus)。因为因为他没有用墙壁围着他的城市,而是通过美德加强了居民的境地,并保存了这座城市; 35您不会在{您的房子}周围抛弃{您的房子}一个大型法院并举起高塔,但要通过善意,菲德尔和友谊来加强居民,然后没有任何害处,即使整个派对都会反对它。
(If you wish your house to be well managed, imitate the Spartan Lycurgus. For as he did not fence his city with walls, but fortified the inhabitants by virtue and preserved the city always free;35 so do you not cast around {your house} a large court and raise high towers, but strengthen the dwellers by good-will and fidelity and friendship, and then nothing harmful will enter it, not even if the whole band of wickedness shall array itself against it.)
