ψυκτῆρας διαλίθους παρακομίζοντα καὶ Θηρικλείους, ‘ἐμοὶ μέν’ εἶπεν ‘ἡμέρας τριάκοντα 1 καὶ τῇ πατρίδι, σαυτῷ δὲ τὸν βίον ἅπαντα τοιοῦτος; ὢν ἄχρηστον πεποίηκας σεαυτόν.’
ἑτέρου δὲ θυρεὸν ἐπιδείξαντος εὖ κεκοσμημένον ‘ὁ μὲν θυρεός’ εἶπεν ‘ὦ νεανία καλός, πρέπει δὲ Ῥωμαῖον ἄνδρα μᾶλλον ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ τὰς ἐλπίδας ἔχειν ἢ τῇ ἀριστερᾷ.’
τοῦ δὲ τὸν χάρακα ἄραντος σφόδρα πιέζεσθαι φάσκοντος ‘εἰκότως’ ἔφη: ‘τῷ γὰρ ξύλῳ τούτῳ μᾶλλον ἢ τῇ μαχαίρᾳ πιστεύεις’
ὁρῶν δὲ τὴν ἀπόνοιαν τῶν πολεμίων ἔλεγεν ‘ὠνεῖσθαι τοῦ χρόνου τὴν ἀσφάλειαν : τὸν γὰρ ἀγαθὸν στρατηγὸν ὥσπερ ἰατρὸν ἐσχάτης δεῖσθαι τῆς διὰ ’
