μένοι βεβαίως φοβούμεθα μὴ λάθωμεν εἰς πολυφιλίαν κολοβοῦ καὶ τυφλοῦ, φοβουμένου μὴ φιλίων ἐμπεσόντες; σχεδὸν γὰρ οῦδὲν διαφέρομεν Βριάρεως ὁ ἑκατόγχειρ καὶ Ἄργος ὁ πανόπτης γένηται τις ἐπιχλευάσειεν ὅτι μηδέπω μίαν φιλίαν κεκτη ται. καίτοι τόν γε παρὰ τῷ Μενάνδρῳ 1 νεανίσκον [p. 226] ὑπερφυῶς ἐπαινοῦμεν εἰπόντα θαυμαστὸν ὅσον νομίζειν ἀγαθὸν ἕκαστον, ἂν ἔχῃ φίλου σκιάν
ἐναντίον 2 δὲ μετὰ πολλῶν ἄλλων οὐχ ἥκιστα πρὸς 3 φιλίας κτῆσιν ἡ τῆς πολυφιλίας ὄρεξις, ὥσπερ ἔρως 4 ἀκολάστων γυναικῶν τῷ πολλάκις καὶ πολλοῖς
