Διὸ ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος, κἂν τὰ μυρία ὑμᾶς ὁ ἐν ὑμῖν ἐνδομυχῶν ὄφις, κακοὺς ὑποβαλὼν λογισμοὺς καὶ ἀσχολίας, ἐνεδρεύειν θέλῃ, ἀλλ᾽ οὖν γε ὑμεῖς ὀφείλετε ταύτῃ μᾶλλον προσφιλονεικοῦντες αὐτῷ συνεχῶς ἡμῶν ἐπακούειν. δεῖ γὰρ συνεδρεύοντας ὑμᾶς τοὺς σφόδρα ἠπατημένους εἰδέναι, πῶς χρὴ ἐπᾴδειν αὐτῷ. ἄλλως δὲ ἀδύνατον. ἐπᾴδειν δὲ λέγω, τῷ λογισμῷ ἀντιτάσσεσθαι ταῖς κακαῖς αὐτῶν συμβουλίαις.
