Translation:
Only the good man [is] free, but the base [are] slaves; for [they say that] freedom is the capacity for independent action.[1]
For the free man [e)leu/qeros] [is] he who goes [e)leu/qwn] wherever he desires.[2]
To seem to be a good man by freeing one's own land [is] much better than to bring slavery on the city: such a man was Ganges the king of the Ethiopians.[3]
