["To revile the wicked] is not at all invidious; rather, to any right-thinking person, it is an honor to decent men." That is, reviling the wicked becomes an honor of the good. "So if the fellow, who must be the object of many insults, had himself been obvious, I would not have made mention of a [man who is a] friend; but as it is, everybody knows Arignotos, whoever knows either the white or the orthios nomos." From the saying 'if someone knows [the difference between] the white and the black'. But some say that Arignotos was a kithara-player who sang the so-called orthios nomos and the white [one], which were the ones admired at that time. As to Ariphrades, his licentiousness with women was unnatural.
