Καὶ ἡ μὲν ἀπῄει πεπεισμένη μηδὲν ἄκουσα δύνασθαι παθεῖν, ὁ δὲ Διονύσιος λυπούμενος ἧκεν εἰς οἶκον τὸν ἴδιον καὶ μόνον καλέσας Λεωνᾶν “κατὰ πάντα” φησὶν “ἐγὼ δυστυχής εἰμι καὶ μισούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἔρωτος. Τὴν μὲν γαμετὴν ἔθαψα, φεύγει δὲ ἡ νεώνητος, ἣν ἤλπιζον ἐξ Ἀφροδίτης εἶναί μοι δῶρον, καὶ ἀνέπλαττον ἐμαυτῷ βίον μακάριον ὑπὲρ Μενέλεων τὸν τῆς Λακεδαιμονίας γυναικός· οὐδὲ γὰρ τὴν Ἑλένην εὔμορφον οὕτως ὑπολαμβάνω γεγονέναι.
