ἐν δὲ ἀνίσοις φίλοις οὐκ ἔστι τὸ ἴσον, ἔστι δὲ ἡ πααπτρὸς πρὸς υῖὸν φιλία ἐν ἀνίσῳ, ὁμοίως ἡ γυναικὸς πρὸς ἄνδρα ἢ οἰκέτου πρὸς δεσπότην, καὶ ὅλως δὲ χείρονος καὶ βελτίονος. οὐχ ἕξουσιν δὴ τὰ τοιαῦτα ἐγκλήμεπτα. ἀλλʼ ἐν τοῖς ἴσοις φίλοις καὶ ἐν τῇ 〈τοι〉αύτῃ φιλίᾳ τὸ τοιοῦτον ἔγκλημα. ὥστε σκεπτέον ἂν εἴη τὸ πῶς δεῖ χρῆσθαι φίλῳ ἐν τῇ ἐν ἴσοις φίλοις φιλίᾳ. **.
