εἰ μὲν οὖν τοῦτον ἐτεθείκειν τὸν νόμον, μηδένα μηδὲν
πράττειν, ἔνοχος ἂν εἰκότως ἐδόκουν τῇ παρανομίᾳ,
εἰ δὲ τοῦτο μὲν οὐδαμοῦ τοῦ βιβλίου λέλεκταί μοι, χρὴ
δὲ τὸν ἀγαθὸν ἄνδρα ἐνεργὸν εἶναι, τί ἂν ἄλλο ἐς δέον
αὑτῷ χρῷτο, ἢ φίλοις συμπονῶν πρὸς τὰ βέλτιστα κἀν
τῷ μέσῳ ὑπαίθριος πεῖραν αὑτοῦ διδοὺς ὅπως ἔχει
πίστεως καὶ σπουδῆς καὶ εὐνοίας πρὸς τὰ ἐγκεχειρισμένα,
ὡς μὴ τὸ Ὁμηρικὸν ἐκεῖνο ‘ἐτώσιον ἄχθος ἀρούρης’ εἴη.
Luciani Samosatensis Opera, Vol I. Lucian. Karl Jacobitz. in aedibus B. G. Teubneri. Leipzig. 1896. Keyboarding.
