ἀκούων δὲ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα καὶ δοκῶν οὐ ψεύδεσθαι, ἀπεκρινάμην αὐτῷ ἅπερ ἂν νέος τε ἄνθρωπος καὶ οἰκείως χρώμενος, οὐκ ἂν νομίσας ἀδικηθῆναι, ὅτι ‘ὦ Νικόστρατε, καὶ ἐν τῷ πρὸ τοῦ σοι χρόνῳ φίλος ἦν ἀληθινός, καὶ νῦν ἐν ταῖς συμφοραῖς σου, καθ᾽ ὅσον ἐγὼ ἐδυνάμην, βεβοήθηκα. ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἐν τῷ παρόντι οὐ δύνασαι πορίσαι ἅπαντα τὰ χρήματα, ἀργύριον μὲν ἐμοὶ οὐ πάρεστιν, οὐδ᾽ ἔχω οὐδ᾽ αὐτός, τῶν δὲ κτημάτων σοι τῶν ἐμῶν κίχρημι ὅ τι βούλει, θέντα τοῦ ἐπιλοίπου ἀργυρίου ὅσου ἐνδεῖ σοι, ἐνιαυτὸν ἀτόκῳ χρῆσθαι τῷ ἀργυρίῳ καὶ ἀποδοῦναι τοῖς ξένοις. συλλέξας δὲ ἔρανον, ὥσπερ αὐτὸς φής, λῦσαί μοι.’
