ἐπιβάλλουσαν ὅμοιόν τι τοῖς ἀνελευθέροις καὶ φιλαργύροις
πάσχειν, οἳ πολλὰ συνάγοντες οὐ χρῶνται
παροῦσιν ἀλλὰ θρηνοῦσι καὶ δυσφοροῦσιν ἀπολομένων. εἰ δ᾽ ἐκείνης ἔχεις
οἶκτον ἀγάμου καὶ ἄπαιδος οἰχομένης, αὖθις ἔχεις ἐπ᾽ ἄλλοις ἡδίω
σεαυτὴν ποιεῖν, μηδενὸς τούτων ἀτελῆ μηδ᾽ ἄμοιρον γενομένην 1 οὐ γάρ: ἐστι
ταῦτα μεγάλα μὲν τοῖς στερομένοις ἀγαθὰ
μικρὰ δὲ τοῖς ἔχουσιν. ἐκείνη δ᾽ εἰς τὸ ἄλυπον ἥκουσα λυπεῖν ἡμᾶς οὐ
δεῖται: τί γὰρ ἡμῖν ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνης κακόν, εἰ μηδὲν ἐκείνῃ νῦν
