Καὶ ἵνα μή σοι μηκύνω τοὺς οὐκ ἀναγκαίους λόγους, συνῴκησα αὐτῇ διὰ τὴν φιλανδρίαν. καὶ μετ’ οὐ πολὺ ἐμοῦ τῆς ταλαιπώρου αἱ χεῖρες ὑπὸ τῶν δηγμάτων παρείθησαν, καὶ ἡ ὑποδεξαμένη με γυνὴ ὅλη ὑπὸ πάθους τινὸς συνδεθεῖσα ἐπὶ τῆς οἰκίας ἔῤῥιπται. ἐπεὶ οὖν ὁ τῶν πάλαι γυναικῶν ἔλεος παρήκμασεν, ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ ἡ κατ’ οἶκον ἀμφότεραι ἐπισινεῖς τυγχάνομεν, ἐκ πολλῶν χρόνων ἐνταῦθα, ὡς ὁρᾷς, καθέζομαι προσαιτοῦσα , καὶ ὧν ἂν εὐπορήσω καὶ τῇ συνταλαιπώρῳ εἰς τροφὰς κομίζω. καὶ τὰ μὲν ἐμὰ ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον αὐταρκῶς εἰρήσθω. λοιπὸν σὺ μὴ κωλύσῃς τὴν ὑπόσχεσιν πληρῶσαι τοῦ δοῦναι τὸ φάρμακον, ὅπως κἀκείνῃ ἐπιθυμούσῃ θανεῖν δῷ, καὶ οὕτως κἀγὼ τοῦ ζῆν, ὡς ἔφης μεταλλάξαι δυνηθῶ.
