εἶτα ἐπηρώτα με ὁ ἄρχων τί δυνησόμεθα δοῦναι τῷ δήμῳ; κἀγώ, Τέσσαρα, ἔφην, ἐλάφεια δέρματα πάνυ καλά. οἱ δὲ πολλοὶ αὐτῶν ἐγέλασαν. ὁ δὲ ἄρχων ἠγανάκτησε πρός με. τὰ γὰρ ἄρκεια, ἔφην, σκληρά ἐστιν καὶ τὰ τράγεια οὐκ ἄξια τούτων, ἄλλα δὲ παλαιά, τὰ δὲ μικρὰ αὐτῶν· εἰ δὲ βούλεσθε, κἀκεῖνα λάβετε. πάλιν οὖν ἠγανάκτει καὶ ἔφη με ἄγροικον εἶναι παντελῶς.
