δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ τοῦτο Ὅμηρος· τὸν μὲν γὰρ Εὔμαιον πεποίηκε δοῦλον καὶ πένητα ὅμως τὸν Ὀδυσσέα καλῶς ὑποδεχόμενον καὶ τροφῇ καὶ κοίτῃ· τοὺς δὲ μνηστῆρας ὑπὸ πλούτου καὶ ὕβρεως οὐ πάνυ ῥᾳδίως αὐτῷ μεταδιδόντας οὐδὲ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων, ὥς που καὶ αὐτὸς πεποίηται λέγων πρὸς τὸν Ἀντίνουν, ὀνειδίζων τὴν ἀνελευθερίαν, οὐ σύγʼ ἂν ἐξ οἴκου σῷ ἐπιστάτῃ οὐδʼ ἅλα δοίης, ὃς νῦν ἀλλοτρίοισι παρήμενος οὔτι μοι ἔτλης σίτου ἀπάρξασθαι, πολλῶν κατὰ οἶκον ἐόντων.
