(2) ὃ δέ με δόξας συνάχθεσθαι αὐτῷ ἐπὶ τῇ πτώσει τῆς τυραννίδος καὶ τῷ παρόντι σχήματι τοῦ βίου, τοιαῦτα εἶπεν· ὦ Διόγενες, εὖ ποιεῖς συναλγῶν ἡμῖν. κἀγὼ προσέθηκα τῷ οὐκ εὖ τὸ ἀληθῶς. ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ μὲν οὐχ ὅτι τῆς τυραννίδος ἀφῄρησαι ἄχθομαι, ὦ Διονύσιε, ἀλλ’ ὅτι ἐλευθεριάζεις ἐν τῇ Ἑλλάδι τὰ νῦν, καὶ περισέσωσαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἐν Σικελίᾳ κακῶν, οἷς ἔδει σε ἐναποθανεῖν τοσαῦτα ἐργασάμενον φαῦλα γῆν καὶ θάλατταν.
