ἔφη ‘νυκτερεύσαντα
περὶ 1 τὸν
τάφον ἐμοὶ δοκεῖ τὸν Λύσιδος ἦγεν Ἐπαμεινώνδας πρὸς τὸν Ἰσμηνὸν
ἀπολουσόμενον, εἶτ᾽ ἀφίξονται δεῦρο πρὸς ἡμᾶς: πρὶν δ᾽ ἐντυχεῖν
ἡμῖν ἐνηυλίσατο τῷ τάφῳ, διανοούμενος
ἀνελέσθαι τὰ λείψανα τοῦ σώματος καὶ κομίζειν εἰς Ἰταλίαν, εἰ μή τι
νύκτωρ ὑπεναντιωθείη δαιμόνιον.’ ὁ μὲν οὖν πατὴρ ταῦτ᾽ εἰπὼν
ἐσιώπησεν.
ὁ δὲ Γαλαξίδωρος ‘ὦ Ἡράκλεις’ εἶπεν ‘ὡσἔργον ἐστὶν εὑρεῖν
ἄνδρα καθαρεύοντα τύφου καὶ δεισιδαιμονίας.
οἱ μὲν γὰρ ἄκοντες ὑπὸ τῶν παθῶν τούτων ἁλίσκονται δι᾽ ἀπειρίαν ἢ
δι᾽ ἀσθένειαν: οἱ [p. 499] δέ, ὡς θεοφιλεῖς καὶ περιττοί τινες
εἶναι δοκοῖεν, ἐπιθειάζουσι τὰς πράξεις, ὀνείρατα καὶ φάσματα καὶ
τοιοῦτον ἄλλον ὄγκον προϊστάμενοι τῶν ἐπὶ νοῦν ’
