ποντίου θηρὸς χρωτὶ μάλιστα νόονκαὶ Θέογνις
προσφέρων πάσαις πολίεσσιν ὁμίλει
πουλύποδος νόον ἴσχε πολυχρόου, ὃς ποτὶ πέτρῃ,τοῦτο δὴ καὶ τοὺς πανουργίᾳ καὶ δεινότητι ὑπερφέροντας ἔχειν τὸ ἐπιτήδευμα λέγουσιν, ὡς ὑπὲρ τοῦ λαθεῖν καὶ διαφυγεῖν τοὺς πλησίον ἑαυτοὺς ἀεὶ ἀπεικάζειν πολύποδι. ἢ καθάπερ ἐσθῆτι τῇ χρόᾳ νομίζουσι χρῆσθαι, ῥᾳδίως οὕτως ᾗ βούλεται μετενδυόμενον;
τῇ προσομιλήσῃ, τοῖος: ἰδεῖν ἐφάνη.
