"Fashion adalah satu-satunya hukum, kesenangan satu-satunya pengejaran, dan kemegahan pakaian dan furnitur adalah satu-satunya perbedaan warga Antiokhia.

The arts of luxury were honoured; the serious and manly virtues were the subject of ridicule; and the contempt for female modesty and reverent age announced the universal corruption of the capital of the East.
