γενομένου καθ᾽ 1 ἡμᾶς
ἐνταῦθα Πρωτογένους οἰκεῖος [p. 455] καὶ φίλος, ἐν πολλῇ
βιώσας ἀκολασίᾳ τὸν πρῶτον χρόνον, εἶτα ταχὺ τὴν οὐσίαν ἀπολέσας,
ἤδη χρόνον τινὰ καὶ διὰ τὴν ἀνάγκην ἐγένετο πονηρός, καὶ τὸν πλοῦτον
ἐκ μετανοίας διώκων ταὐτὸ τοῖς ἀκολάστοις
ἔπασχε πάθος, οἳ τὰς γυναῖκας ἔχοντες μὲν οὐ φυλάττουσι, 2 προέμενοι δὲ
πειρῶσιν αὖθις ἀδίκως ἑτέροις συνούσας. 3 οὐδενὸς οὖν ἀπεχόμενος
αἰσχροῦ φέροντος εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν ἢ κέρδος, οὐσίαν μὲν οὐ πολλὴν δόξαν
δὲ πονηρίας ἐν ὀλίγῳ πλείστην συνήγαγε.
2 φυλάττουσι] i. e. servant, tuentur; contrarium est προϊεσθαι
3 συνούσας Cobetus: συνούσας διαφθείρειν
