[495]. Nicocl. 3. 50, against injustice in money-making.

[496]. Ibid. 59.

[497]. Cont. Nicocl. (2). 32; Peace 32; cf. p. [26], n. 1, for Plato’s idea.

[498]. Cf. also Paneg. 76.

[499]. Cont. Nicocl. (2). 4.

[500]. Peace 7; moderation in money-making is most difficult for most men; cf. also [34] and [93] f.

[501]. Areop. 4.

[502]. Cont. Nicocl. 2; Panath. 184.

[503]. Areop. 51, 53, 83; νῦν δὲ πλείους εἰσίν οἱ σπανίζοντες τῶν ἐχόντων, a striking commentary on the economic conditions in the Athens of his day. In 44, poverty is called a source of crime. All these passages idealize the past.
