τὸ σῶμα:
1 Φυλλίδας
δ᾽ ἐπεισελθὼν μεθ᾽ Ἱπποσθενείδου καὶ κελεύσας
ἐμὲ καὶ Χάρωνα καὶ Θεόκριτον ἐξαναστῆναι προσῆγεν εἴς τινα γωνίαν τοῦ
περιστύλου, σφόδρα τεταραγμένος ὡς διεφαίνετο τῷ προσώπῳ κἀμοῦ ‘μή τι
καινότερον, ὦ Φυλλίδα, προσπέπτωκεν’ εἰπόντος, ἐμοὶ ‘μὲν
οὐδέν’ ἔφη ‘καινόν, ὧ Καφεισία:
καὶ γὰρ προῄδειν καὶ προύλεγον ὑμῖν τὴν Ἱπποσθενείδου μαλακίαν,
δεόμενος μὴ ἀνακοινοῦσθαι μηδὲ παραλαμβάνειν εἰς τὴν πρᾶξιν.’
ἐκπλαγέντων δὲ τὸν λόγον ἡμῶν, ὁ Ἱπποσθενείδας ‘μὴ λέγε πρὸς
θεῶν’ ἔφη ‘Φυλλίδα, ταῦτα: μηδὲ τὴν
προπέτειαν εὐτολμίαν οἰόμενος ἀνατρέψῃς καὶ ἡμῶν καὶ τὴν πόλιν:
ἀλλ᾽ ἔασον ἀσφαλῶς, εἴπερ εἵμαρται, ’
