‘ καὶ ἔθη καὶ παιδεῖαι
καὶ διδασκαλίαι καὶ βίων ἀγωγαί, καὶ ἐγὼ ταῦθ᾽ ὑμῖν αὐτίκα δὴ μάλα
ποιήσω φανερά’ εἶτα προσαγαγὼν τοὺς δύο σκύλακας διαφῆκε, καταθεὶς
εἰς μέσον λοπάδα καὶ λαγωὸν κατευθὺ τῶν σκυλάκων. καὶ ὁ μὲν ἐπὶ τὸν
λαγωὸν ᾖξεν, ὁ δ᾽ ἐπὶ τὴν λοπάδα ὥρμησε.
τῶν δὲ Λακεδαιμονίων οὐδέπω συμβαλεῖν ἐχόντων τί ποτ᾽ αὐτῷ τοῦτο
δύναται καὶ τί βουλόμενος τοὺς σκύλακας ἐπεδείκνυεν, ‘οὗτοι γονέων’
ἔφη ‘τῶν αὐτῶν ἀμφότεροι, διαφόρου δὲ τυχόντες ἀγωγῆς ὁ μὲν λίχνος
ὁ δὲ θηρευτὴς ἀποβέβηκε’ καὶ περὶ μὲν ἐθῶν καὶ βίων ἀρκείτω
ταῦτα.
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1888. 1.
