Εἰ πατρῴζεις, ὦ παῖ, καὶ τἀμὰ φρονεῖς, χαίρειν τοὺς ἀλαζόνας ἐκείνους τοὺς ἀνυποδήτους καὶ ὠχριῶν- τας, οἳ περὶ τὴν Ἀκαδήμ〈ε〉ιαν ἀλινδοῦνται, καὶ βιω- φελὲς μὲν οὐδὲν οὔτε εἰδότας οὔτε πράττειν δυναμένους, τὰ μετέωρα δὲ πολυπραγμονεῖν ἐπιτηδεύοντας, ἐάσας ἔχου τῶν κατʼ ἀγρὸν ἔργων, ἀφʼ ὧν σοι διαπονοῦντι μεστὴ μὲν ἡ σιπύη πανσπερμίας, οἱ δὲ ἀμφορεῖς οἴνου γέμοντες, πλέα δὲ ἀγαθῶν τὰ σύμπαντα.
