    Jedním z trestů za odmítnutí účasti v politice je to, že se nakonec řídíte svými podřízenými.

    Eine der Strafen, wenn Sie sich weigern, an der Politik teilzunehmen, ist, dass Sie von Ihren Untergebenen regiert werden.

    l'une des sanctions pour avoir refusé de participer à la politique est que vous finissez par être gouverné par vos inférieurs.

    unus enim poenae est, quod te negat esse rei publicae participare terminus sursum quod qui in inferiore vivas.
