τὸ δὲ τοῦ Κλεινίου, τῶν Πυθαγόρου γνωρίμων ἑνὸς χαλεπὸν πιστεῦσαι ἀπὸ ταὐτομάτου συμβῆναι τοῖς ἡμετέροις, ἀλλ’ οὐχὶ μιμησαμένου σπουδῇ. τί δὲ ἦν ὃ ἐποίησεν ἐκεῖνος; ἐξὸν δι’ ὅρκου τριῶν ταλάντων ζημίαν ἀποφυγεῖν, ὁ δὲ ἀπέτισε μᾶλλον ἢ ὤμοσε, καὶ ταῦτα εὐορκεῖν μέλλων· ἀκούσας, ἐμοὶ δοκεῖν, τοῦ προστάγματος τὸν ὅρκον ἡμῖν ἀπαγορεύοντος.
