Μέμνησο ὅτι τῆς πενίας τὴν ἀρχὴν ἔδωκά σοι διὰ βίου, καὶ πειρῶ μήτε αὐτὸς ταύτην ἀποθέσθαι μήτε ὑπʼ ἄλλου ἀφαιρεθῆναι αὐτήν· εἰκὸς γὰρ τοὺς ἐν Θήβαις ἐκπεριελθεῖν σε πάλιν κακοδαιμονίζοντας. σὺ δὲ τὸν τρίβωνα λεοντῆν νόει, τὸ δὲ βάκτρον ῥόπαλον, τὴν δὲ πήραν γῆν καὶ θάλατταν, ἀφ’ ἧς τρέφῃ· οὕτω γὰρ ἂν Ἡράκλειον διανασταίη σοι φρόνημα καὶ πάσης τύχης κρεῖττον. ἢν δέ σοι τῶν θέρμων ἢ καὶ τῶν ἰσχάδων περιῇ, καὶ ἡμῖν πέμπε.
