It was the custom that the younger men should be questioned by the elder as to where they were going and for what, and also that the elder should

rebuke the one who did not answer or tried to contrive plausible reasons.[*] And the elder who did not rebuke a younger who did wrong in his presence was liable to the same reprimand as the wrongdoer. And anyone who showed resentment, if he was reprimanded, was in great opprobrium.
