Book 2
6.25
Men also feel shame when they are connected with actions or things which entail disgrace,This rendering involves a plural neuter with a plural verb. Others take the actions or things in a good sense, deeds and fortunes, their own or their ancestors, which they are likely to disgrace. for which either they themselves, or their ancestors, or any others with whom they are closely connected are responsible. In a word, men feel shame for those whom they themselves respect;i.e. when they have done anything disgraceful. such are those mentioned and those who have any relation to them, for instance, whose teachers or advisers they have been; similarly, when they are in rivalry with others who are like them;
6.26
for there are many things which they either do or do not do owing to the feeling of shame which these men inspire.
