ἵνα δὲ μὴ πράγματα ἔχητε καθʼ ἕκαστον ἐρωτῶντες, ἐρῶ καὶ τἄλλα ἅ ἐστιν ἡμῖν· αἶγες ὀκτὼ θήλειαι, βοῦσκολοβή, μοσχάριον ἐξ αὐτῆς πάνυ καλόν, δρέπανα τέτταρα, δίκελλαι τέτταρες, λόγχαι τρεῖς, μάχαιραν ἡμῶν ἑκάτερος κέκτηται πρὸς τὰ θηρία. τὰ δὲ κεράμια σκεύη τί ἂν λέγοι τις; καὶ γυναῖκες ἡμῖν εἰσι καὶ τούτων τέκνα. οἰκοῦμεν δὲ ἐν δυσὶ σκηναῖς καλαῖς· καὶ τρίτην ἔχομεν, οὗ κεῖται τὸ σιτάριον καὶ τὰ δέρματα. νὴ Δία,εἶπεν ὁ ῥήτωρ, ὅπου καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ἴσως κατορύττετε.
