ἐγὼ μὲν, ὦ ἄνδρες, ἐνύπνια ᾤμην, ἔφην, ὁρᾶν, ἀγροὺς καὶ κώμας καὶ τοιαῦτα φλυαροῦντος. ἡμεῖς δὲ οὔτε κώμην ἔχομεν οὔτε ἵππους οὔτε ὄνους οὔτε βοῦς. εἴθε γὰρ ἦν ἔχειν ἡμᾶς ὅσα οὗτος ἔλεγεν ἀγαθά, ἵνα καὶ ὑμῖν ἐδώκαμεν καὶ αὐτοὶ τῶν μακαρίων ἦμεν. καὶ τὰ νῦν δὲ ὄντα ἡμῖν ἱκανά ἐστιν, ἐξ ὧν εἴ τι βούλεσθε λάβετε· κἂν πάντα ἐθέλητε, ἡμεῖς ἕτερα κτησόμεθα. ἐπὶ τούτῳ δὲ τῷ λόγῳ ἐπῄνεσαν.
