Ἄγαμαί σε τῆς ἐπιθυμίας, ὅτι τε φιλοσοφίας ὠρέχθης γυνὴ οὖσα, καὶ ὅτι τῆς ἡμετέρας αἱρέσεως ἐγενήθης, ἣν διὰ τὸ αὐστηρὸν καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες κατεπλάγησαν. ἀλλ’ ὅπως καὶ τέλος ἐπιθῇς τῇ ἀρχῇ σπούδασον. ἐπιθήσεις δὲ εὖ οἶδα, εἰ Κράτητός τε τοῦ συνευνέτου μὴ ἀπολείποιο, ἡμῖν τε τοῖς εὐεργέταις τῆς φιλοσοφίας θαμινῶς ἐπιστέλλοις· δύνανται γὰρ αἱ ἐπιστολαὶ πολλὰ καὶ οὐχ ἥττονα τῆς πρὸς παρόντας διαλέξεως.
