εἰ γὰρ χρὴ καὶ κακῶν ἔπαινον εἰπεῖν, μὴ ὑπολάβῃς
μεῖζόν τι γυμνάσιον ἀρετῆς ἢ τῆς ψυχῆς
δοκιμασίαν ἀληθεστέραν τῆσδε τῆς πόλεως καὶ
τῆς ἐνταῦθα διατριβῆς: οὐ γὰρ μικρὸν ἀντισχεῖν τοσαύταις μὲν ἐπιθυμίαις, τοσούτοις δὲ θεάμασι
τε καὶ ἀκούσμασι πάντοθεν ἕλκουσι καὶ ἀντιλαμβανομένοις, ἀλλὰ ἀτεχνῶς δεῖ τὸν Ὀδυσσέα
μιμησάμενον παραπλεῖν αὐτὰ μὴ δεδεμένον τὼ χεῖρε — δειλὸν γάρ — μηδὲ τὰ ὦτα κηρῷ φραξάμενον, ἀλλ᾽ ἀκούοντα καὶ λελυμένον καὶ ἀληθῶς
ὑπερήφανον.
