ἐννόησον δὲ κἀκεῖνο, ὅση μὲν ἡδονὴ τῷ πέμψαντι ληφθέντων, ὅση δὲ λύπη μὴ ληφθέντων ἐπιγίγνεται. εἰ τὸ καθαρὸν ... καὶ μετὰ πολὺ προσιέναι σοι. πιστεύοις δὲ δίκαιον εἶναι τὸν νόμον τῶν τε πόλεων καὶ θεῶν καὶ φίλων ... φίλων δὲ οὐ τοσοῦτον ἐπιδεικνύντων θράσος εὐνοίας, ἀλλὰ κρυπτόντων ὑπὸ δέους, ἔπεμψα τὸ πρὶν ἐπιτρέψῃς. σὺ δὲ μὴ δεύτερον ἀποπέμψῃς, ᾧ γε ἔδει μηδ' ἅπαξ.
