ὅτι δεῖ καὶ γυναιξὶ
κοινὰ τὰ ἀνδρῶν εἶναι καὶ ἀνδράσι τὰ γυναικῶν; μανθάνει γὰρ ὁ λαβὼν
τὸ δοθὲν ἀλλότριον ἡγεῖσθαι τὸ μὴ δοθέν, ὥστ᾽ ὀλίγον διδόντες
ἀλλήλοις τὸ πᾶν ἀφαιροῦνται.
‘διὰ τί δὲ παρὰ γαμβροῦ καὶ παρὰ πενθεροῦ
λαβεῖν ἐκείνοις κεκώλυται δῶρον;᾽’ ἦ 1 παρὰ γαμβροῦ μέν, ἵνα μὴ
δόξῃ διὰ τοῦ πατρὸς εἰς τὴν γυναῖκα περιχωρεῖν τὸ δῶρον: παρὰ πενθεροῦ
δέ, ὅτι τὸν μὴ: διδόντα δίκαιον ἐφάνη μηδὲ λαμβάνειν; [p. 256]
