δεκατευομένους ἀπήλλαξεν; ἢ ταῦτα μὲν οὐκ εἶχε 1
τὴν ἱστορίαν ἀξιόπιστον ὡς δ᾽ ἀδηφάγῳ τινὶ τῷ Ἡρακλεῖ καὶ εὐθοίνῳ
δαψιλῶς καὶ ἀφθόνως ἀπέθυον; ἢ μᾶλλον ὡς

Ἡρακλέα καὶ χαίρειν ταῖς τοιαύταις ἀποχρήσεσι 2 καὶ συστολαῖς τῶν: περιττῶν, εὐτελῆ καὶ αὐτάρκη καὶ ἀπέριττον τῷ βίῳ
γενόμενον;
‘διὰ τί τὸν Ἰανουάριον μῆνα νέου ἔτους ’
