i_o think_v the_o lacedaemonian_n have_v a_o law_n to_o punish_v parent_n who_o do_v not_o their_o duty_n towards_o their_o child_n let_v we_o therefore_o take_v in_o the_o high_a instance_n of_o

that_o in_o any_o case_n of_o such_o open_a violence_n a_o son_n may_v resist_v a_o father_n in_o his_o own_o necessary_a defence_n and_o self-preservation_n without_o offer_v reproach_n injury_n or_o
