ὢν δʼ ἐν τοιαύτῃ ἀφθονίᾳ καὶ εἰσφοιτῶν ὡς τὸν Πιττάλακον συγκυβευτὴν ὄντα, καὶ τοῦτον ἐκεῖ πρῶτον ἰδών, ἥσθη τε καὶ ἐπεθύμησε καὶ ἐβουλήθη ὡς αὑτὸν ἀναλαβεῖν, καὶ πως ἡγήσατο αὐτὸν ἐγγὺς εἶναι τῆς αὑτοῦ φύσεως. πρῶτον μὲν οὖν τῷ Πιτταλάκῳ διελέχθη δεόμενος παραδοῦναι τοῦτον· ὡς δʼ οὐκ ἔπειθεν, αὐτῷ τούτῳ προσβάλλει, καὶ οὐ πολὺν ἀνήλωσε λόγον, ἀλλʼ εὐθὺς ἐπεπείκει· καὶ γὰρ εἰς αὐτὸ τὸ πρᾶγμα δεινὴ ἡ ἀκακία καὶ εὐπειστία, ὥστε καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν τούτων εἰκότως ἂν μισοῖτο.
