Λέγουσι δὲ ἔνιοι τὸ ἀργύριον εἶναι πονηρὸν καὶ τὰ νομίσματα πάντα· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐτήρησα τὰ μὲν λεπτὰ καὶ χάλκεα νομίσματα δυσθυμιῶν αἴτια καὶ λόγων ἐπιλύπων, τὰ δὲ ἀργυρᾶ λόγων τῶν ἐν συνθήκαις περὶ σπουδαίων πραγμάτων σημαντικά, τὰ δὲ χρύσεα σπουδαιοτέρων. ἀεὶ δὲ ἄμεινον ὀλίγα ἔχειν χρήματα καὶ νομίσματα καὶ μὴ πολλά, ἐπεὶ τά γε πολλὰ διὰ τὸ δυσοικονόμητον φροντίδας καὶ λύπας σημαίνει, ὥσπερ καὶ ὁ θησαυρός·
