‘ κατὰ λόγον περαινομένης
ἔργον ἐστὶν ἑτέρους δι᾽ ἑτέρων
κολαζομένων ἐπισχεῖν. δὲ προσέοικε τῷ ζητουμένῳ τὸ παραβαλλόμενον ὑπὸ
τοῦ Βίωνος ἔλαθεν αὐτόν: ἤδη γὰρ ἀνδρὸς εἰς νόσημα μοχθηρὸν οὐ
μὴν ἀνίατον ἐμπεσόντος, εἶτ᾽ ἀκρασίᾳ καὶ μαλακίᾳ προεμένου τῷ
πάθει τὸ σῶμα καὶ διαφθαρέντος υἱὸν οὐ
δοκοῦντα νοσεῖν, ἀλλὰ μόνον ἐπιτηδείως ἔχοντα πρὸς τὴν αὐτὴν νόσον
ἰατρὸς ἢ οἰκεῖος ἢ ἀλείπτης καταμαθὼν ἢ δεσπότης χρηστός, ἐμβαλὼν
εἰς δίαιταν αὐστηρὰν καὶ ἀφελὼν ὄψα καὶ πέμματα καὶ πότους καὶ
γύναια, φαρμακείαις δὲ χρησάμενος
