Σὺ δέ, παιδίον, ὑπὲρ σεαυτοῦ τί αἱρῇ; φαρμάκῳ τελευτῆσαι, πρὶν τὸν ἥλιον ἰδεῖν, καὶ μετὰ τῆς μητρὸς ἐρρῖφθαι, τάχα δὲ μηδὲ ταφῆς ἀξιωθῆναι, ἢ ζῆν καὶ δύο πατέρας ἔχειν, τὸν μὲν Σικελίας τὸν δὲ Ἰωνίας πρῶτον; Ἀνὴρ δὲ γενόμενος γνωρισθήσῃ ῥᾳδίως ὑπὸ τῶν συγγενῶν· πέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι ὅμοιόν σε τέξομαι τῷ πατρί· καὶ καταπλεύσεις λαμπρῶς ἐπὶ τριήρους Μιλησίας, ἡδέως δὲ Ἑρμοκράτης ἔγγονον ἀπολήψεται,
