ἐδεήθη τις αὐτοῦ γράψαι πρὸς τοὺς ἐπ᾽ Ἀσίας ξένους, ὅπως τύχῃ τοῦ δικαίου ‘ἀλλ᾽ οἱ ἐμοὶ ξένοι’ εἶπε ‘τὰ δίκαια δι᾽ ἑαυτῶν, κἂν ἐγὼ μὴ γράψω, ποιοῦσιν.’
ἐπεδείκνυέ τις αὐτῷ τῆς πόλεως τὸ τεῖχος ὀχυρὸν καὶ καρτερῶς ἄγαν ἐξῳκοδομημένον, καὶ ἠρώτα εἰ καλὸν αὐτῷ φαίνεται: ‘νὴ Δία᾽’ ἔφη ‘καλὸν οὐχ ὡς ἀνδράσι δὲ ἀλλ᾽ ὡς γυναιξὶν ἐνοικεῖν.’
Μεγαρέως δέ τινος περὶ τῆς πόλεως πρὸς αὐτὸν μεγαλαυχουμένου, ‘μειράκιον’ ἔφη ‘οἱ λόγοι σου πολλῆς δυνάμεως 1 δέονται. ’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1889. 2.
