Soli Athenienses, non sui modo, sed etiam Graeciae vindices, colluvionem ordinum hominumque aegre ferebant, non regio imperio, sed legibus moribusque patriis regi  assueti; prohibuere igitur exsules finibus, omnia potius toleraturi quam purgamenta quondam urbis suae, tunc etiam exsilii admitterent.
The Athenians alone, defenders not only of themselves but also of Greece, could not tolerate such a cesspool of classes and men, being accustomed to be governed, not by the command of a king, but  by the laws and ancestral customs; therefore they shut out the exiles from their territories, preferring to endure anything rather than admit what was once the off-scourings of their city, and then even of their places of exile.
