Καί τις ἐν αὐτοῖς πλούσιος ἀνὴρ, καὶ διὰ παντὸς χῶρόν τινα περὶ ἑαυτὸν κεκτημένος παμμήνων φύλλων, ἔφη· ἐπειδὴ σφόδρα καῦμα ἐπιφλέγει, βραχὺ τῆς πόλεως εἰς ἐμοὺς κήπους ὑποχωρήσωμεν. καὶ δὴ προϊόντες ἐκαθέζοντο, ἔνθα ἦν καθαρὰ ψυχρῶν ναμάτων ῥεύματα καὶ δένδρων παντοίων χλοερὰ σκέπη. ἔνθα ἐγὼ ἀσμένως ἐκαθεζόμην καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ περὶ ἐμέ, καὶ ἡσυχάζοντες, ἀντὶ τῆς μελλούσης ἀξιοῦν με φωνῆς, διὰ τοῦ ἀτενίζειν εἰς ἐμὲ δῆλοι ἦσαν τῆς ὑποθέσεως τὴν ἀπόδειξιν ἀπαιτοῦντες. καὶ δὴ οὕτως λέγειν ἠρξάμην.
