You seem to be referring to some Roman text that I am not aware of.
I would still disagree with that statement:
"Capital exists because of the state."
Interpreting "capital" as wealth (accumulation), history has shown repeatedly that one strongman/feudal lord, etc. can hoard a lot of wealth in his dominions without them becoming a state.
This is semantics, though. Billions of people...
