τῷ δὲ οὐδὲ τοῦτο εὐμαρὲς διὰ δυσχωρίαν ξυνέβη· ἀλλὰ ἦγε γὰρ αὐτὸν ταύτῃ τὸ δαιμόνιον ᾗ παρελθόντα ἐχρῆν ἤδη τελευτῆσαι. καί που τυχὸν καὶ ἄμεινον αὐτῷ ἦν ἐν ἀκμῇ τῆς τε ἄλλης δόξης καὶ τοῦ πόθου τοῦ παρʼ ἀνθρώπων ἀπηλλάχθαι, πρίν τινα ξυμβῆναι αὐτῷ ξυμφορὰν ἀνθρωπίνην, ἧς ἕνεκα καὶ Σόλωνα Κροίσῳ παραινέσαι εἰκὸς τέλος ὁρᾶν μακροῦ βίου μηδὲ πρόσθεν τινὰ ἀνθρώπων ἀποφαίνειν εὐδαίμονα.
