καὶ περὶ τῶν σκευῶν ἔφραζεν αὐτῷ ὅτι ἴδια ἔχοιμι καὶ δημόσιον οὐδέν· ὡς οὖν, ἔφη, πείσων ἐκεῖνον διανοοῦ, ἢ σκεύη ἔχων σαυτῷ ἀνάπλει. οἶμαι δέ σοι, ἔφη, αὐτὸν οὐδὲν διοίσεσθαι· ὀφείλει γὰρ ἀργύριον ἐκεῖ, ὃ διαλῦσαι βουλήσεται ἐκ τῆς τιμῆς τῶν σκευῶν. ἀκούσας δὲ οὗτος ταῦτα τοῦ τʼ Εὐκτήμονος καὶ τοῦ Δεινίου τοῦ κηδεστοῦ τοῦ ἐμοῦ, περὶ μὲν ὧν ἔλεγον αὐτῷ οὐδὲν αὐτοῖς ἀποκρίνεται, γελάσαντα δὲ ἔφασαν αὐτὸν εἰπεῖν ἄρτι μῦς πίττης γεύεται· ἐβούλετο γὰρ Ἀθηναῖος εἶναι.
