(2) ἀπορρίψας οὖν τὸ ποτήριον δ’ εἶχον, καὶ σοὶ εὑρών τινας ἐπὶ θηβῶν ἀνερχομένους τὸ σοφὸν τοῦτο ἐπέσταλκα, οὐδὲν βουλόμενος τῶν καλῶν δίχα σοῦ ἐπίστασθαι. ἀλλὰ καὶ σὺ διὰ τοῦτο πειρῶ εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐμβάλλειν, ἵνα πολλοὶ διατρίβουσιν ἄνθρωποι. ἔσται γὰρ ἡμῖν οὕτῳ καὶ ἄλλα σοφὰ παρὰ τῶν κατὰ μέρος εὑρεῖν· πολλὴ γὰρ ἡ φύσις, ἣν ἐκβαλλομένην ὑπὸ τῆς δόξης ἐκ τοῦ βίου ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ ἀνθρώπων κατάγομεν ἡμεῖς.
