Μάταιόν ἐστι δὶς περὶ τῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιστέλλειν. ἢ γὰρ φύσιν οὐκ ἔχει διορθώσεως τὸ πρᾶγμα, καὶ μάτην ἡμῖν ἐνοχλοῦσιν οἱ προσιόντες, ἢ οἱ δεχόμενοι τὰς ἐπιστολὰς παρορῶσιν ἡμῶν, καὶ οὕτω ματαιοφρονοῦμεν τοῖς καταφρονηταῖς ἐπιστέλλοντες. ἐπεὶ οὖν ἤδη περὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐδέξω γράμματα, ἠναγκάσθημεν δὲ καὶ δεύτερον ἐπιστεῖλαι, ἢ διόρθωσαι, εἴ σοι δύναμις, ἢ γνώρισον ἡμῖν τὴν αἰτίαν δι’ ἣν πάλαι οὐ γέγονε τὰ προστεταγμένα.
