ἀποδιδράσκοι καλούμενον, κἂν ἵππος τύχῃ κἂν
πρόβατον κἂν βοίδιον, ἄνθρωπος δὲ εἶναι βουλόμενος
οὐδὲ τῶν ἀγελαίων οὐδὲ τῶν συρφετωδῶν,
ἀλλὰ τῶν ἐπιεικῶν καὶ μετρίων ἀποστερεῖς σεαυτοῦ
τοὺς θεοὺς καὶ οὐκ ἐπιτρέπεις ἐφ̓ ὅ, τι ἂν
ἐθέλωσι χρήσασθαί σοι; ὅρα μὴ πρὸς τῷ λίαν
ἀφρόνως καὶ τῶν δικαίων τῶν πρὸς τοὺς θεοὺς
ὀλιγώρως πράττῃς. ἡ δὲ ἀνδρεία ποῦ καὶ τίς; γελοῖον.
ἕτοιμος γοῦν εἶ καὶ θωπεῦσαι καὶ κολακεῦσαι
