Ancient Greek

ὥστʼ ἔσται καὶ παιδεία καὶ ἔθη ταὐτὰ σχεδὸν τὰ ποιοῦντα σπουδαῖον ἄνδρα καὶ τὰ ποιοῦντα πολιτικὸν καὶ βασιλικόν. διωρισμένων δὲ τούτων περὶ τῆς πολιτείας ἤδη πειρατέον λέγειν τῆς ἀρίστης, τίνα πέφυκε γίγνεσθαι τρόπον καὶ καθίστασθαι πῶς. ἀνάγκη δὴ τὸν μέλλοντα περὶ αὐτῆς ποιήσασθαι τὴν προσήκουσαν σκέψιν.

Harris Rackham, 1944

so that it will be almost the same education and habits that make a man good and that make him capable as a citizen or a king. These conclusions having been laid down, we must now endeavor to discuss the best form of constitution and to say in what way it is natural for it to come into existence and how it is natural for it to be organized.

de sorte que l’éducation et les habitudes qui rendent un homme bon seront presque les mêmes que celles qui le rendent capable d’être citoyen ou roi. Ces conclusions une fois établies, nous devons maintenant nous efforcer d’examiner la meilleure forme de constitution et dire de quelle manière elle naît naturellement et comment elle s’organise naturellement.
