Texte grec :
| [35,11] ταῦτα μὲν οὖν ὅπως ποτὲ ἔχει, λελέχθω.
{τὸ δὲ κομᾶν οὐ χρὴ πάντως ὑπολαμβάνειν ὡς ἀρετῆς σημεῖον.
πολλοὶ γὰρ δὴ διὰ θεόν τινα κομῶσιν ἄνθρωποι· καὶ γεωργοὶ
κομῆται, μηδὲ τοὔνομα ἀκούσαντές ποτε τὸ φιλοσοφίας, καὶ νὴ
Δία οἱ πλείους τῶν βαρβάρων, οἱ μὲν σκέπης ἕνεκεν, οἱ δὲ καὶ
πρέπειν αὑτοῖς νομίζοντες. τούτων δ´ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπίφθονος
οὐδεὶς οὐδὲ καταγέλαστος.

Traduction française :
| [35,11] Well then, whatever be the truth in these matters,
let this suffice. However, I still maintain that long
hair must not by any means be taken as a mark of
virtue. For many human beings wear it long because
of some deity ; and farmers wear long hair,
without ever having even heard the word philosophy ;
and, by Zeus, most barbarians also wear long hair,
some for a covering and some because they believe
it to be becoming. In none of these cases is a man
subjected to odium or ridicule.
