— ἔτι δὲ καὶ ὥσπερ ἐπάνω διειλόμεθα, περὶ φόβους καὶ κινδύνους οὐ πάντας ἀλλὰ τοὺς ἀναιρετικοὺς τῆς οὐσίας.— ἔτι δὲ οὐδʼ ἐν τῷ τυχόντι καὶ παντὶ χρόνῳ, ἀλλʼ ἐν ᾧ οἱ φόβοι καὶ οἱ κίνδυνοι πλησίον εἰσίν. εἰ γάρ τις τὸν εἰς δέκατον ἔτος κίνδυνον μὴ φοβεῖται, οὔπω ἀνδρεῖος· ἔνιοι γὰρ θαρροῦσιν διὰ τὸ μακρὰν ἀπέχειν, ἂν δὲ πλησίον γένωνται, ἀποθνήσκουσιν τῷ δέει.
