Ταῦτά τε καὶ τὰ τούτοις ὅμοια οὐκ οἶδα πόθεν ἀπαύστως ἐνθυμούμενος ὀδυνηρὰν εἶχον λύπην τοσοῦτον, ὡς ὠχριακότα με τήκεσθαι· καὶ τὸ δεινότατον, εἴ ποτε ἀπώσασθαι τὴν φροντίδα ὡς ἀνωφελῆ ἐβουλευσάμην, ἀκμαιότερόν μοι μᾶλλον τὸ πάθος ἐγίνετο. καὶ ἠχθόμην ἐπὶ τούτῳ, οὐκ εἰδὼς σύνοικον καλὴν ἔχων ἔννοιαν, ἀθανασίας ἀγαθῆς αἰτίαν μοι γενησομένην, ὡς ὕστερον τῇ πείρᾳ ἐπέγνων καὶ θεῷ τῷ πάντων δεσπότῃ εὐχαρίστησα. ὑπὸ γὰρ τῆς κατ’ ἀρχὰς θλιβούσης με ἐννοίας εἰς τὴν τῶν πραγμάτων ζήτησιν καὶ εὕρεσιν ἠναγκάσθην ἐλθεῖν· καὶ τότε ἐταλάνιζον, οὓς τὴν ἀρχὴν δι’ ἄγνοιαν μακαρίζειν ἐκινδύνευον.
