Canonical reference 2.2.23
Ancient Greek
καὶ τοῖς εἰς τὰ τοιαῦτα ὀλιγωροῦσιν ὑπὲρ ὧν αὐτοῖς αἰσχρὸν μὴ βοηθεῖν, οἷον γονεῖς, τέκνα, γυναῖκας, ἀρχομένους. καὶ τοῖς χάριν μὴ ἀποδιδοῦσιν· παρὰ τὸ προσῆκον γὰρ ἡ ὀλιγωρία.
English
J. H. Freese, 1926
They are also angry with those who slight such persons as it would be disgraceful for them not to defend, for instance, parents, children, wives, and dependents. And with those who are ungrateful, for the slight is contrary to all sense of obligation.

Ils se mettent aussi en colère contre ceux qui méprisent des personnes qu’il leur serait honteux de ne pas défendre, par exemple leurs parents, leurs enfants, leurs femmes et leurs dépendants. Et contre les ingrats, car leur mépris est contraire à tout sentiment d’obligation.
