First, then, he repealed all Draco's laws, except those concerning homicide, because they were too severe, and the punishments too great; for death was appointed for almost all offenses, insomuch that those that were convicted of idleness were to die, and those that stole a cabbage or an apple to suffer even as villains that committed sacrilege or murder. So that Demades, in after time, was thought to have said very happily, that Draco's laws were written not with ink, but blood; and he himself, being once asked why he made death the punishment of most offenses, replied, "Small ones deserve that, and I have no higher for the greater crimes."

白话
梭伦废除了德拉古除杀人罪以外的所有法律,因为太严酷:几乎一切罪都判死刑,连懒惰、偷一棵白菜或一个苹果也处死,和渎神、杀人一样。后来德马德斯说德拉古的法律不是用墨水写的,而是用血写的。有人问德拉古为何多数罪都判死,他答:小罪该得这个,大罪我没有更高的刑罚了。
