How to quote this translation

νῦν δὴ ἐγὼ μήτ’ αὐτὸς ἐν ἀνθρώποισι δίκαιος
εἴην μήτ’ ἐμὸς υἱός, ἐπεὶ κακὸν ἄνδρα δίκαιον
ἔμμεναι, εἰ μείζω γε δίκην ἀδικώτερος ἕξει·

But now, may neither I myself be just among men, nor any son of mine, since it is a bane for a man to be just, if the more unjust man receives greater justice.
