ἤδη δὲ πολλῶν καὶ
γενναίων ἀθροιζομένων καὶ περιεπόντων, οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι
καταφανεῖς ἦσαν τὴν λαμπρότητα τῆς ὥρας ἐκπεπληγμένοι
καὶ θεραπεύοντες, ὁ δὲ Σωκράτους ἔρως μέγα μαρτύριον
ἦν τῆς ἀρετῆς καὶ εὐφυΐας τοῦ παιδός, ἣν
ἐμφαινομένην τῷ εἴδει καὶ διαλάμπουσαν ἐνορῶν,
φοβούμενος δὲ τὸν πλοῦτον καὶ τὸ ἀξίωμα καὶ τὸν
προκαταλαμβάνοντα κολακείαις καὶ χάρισιν ἀστῶν καὶ ξένων
καὶ συμμάχων ὄχλον, οἷος ἦν ἀμύνειν καὶ μὴ περιορᾶν
ὡς φυτὸν ἐν ἄνθει τὸν οἰκεῖον καρπὸν ἀποβάλλον καὶ
διαφθεῖρον.
