Εἰ δὲ δὴ αὐτὸς εἴη ὁ γαμῶν ὁ τὸν λόγον διαθέμενος, περὶ αὐτοῦ τούτου προοιμιαστέον χαριέντως, ὥσπερ οὖν καὶ σοὶ ποιητέον, ὅτι εἰ καὶ οἱ ἐρασταὶ τὰ αὑτῶν παιδικὰ ἐπαινοῦσι, πολὺ δή που μᾶλλον αὐτῷ πρέπον τὸν γάμον ἐπαινεῖν [ἢ τὰ ἑαυτοῦ παιδικά]· καὶ ὅτι τῷ λόγῳ καὶ τῇ παιδείᾳ καὶ ἐπὶ τούτου χρηστέον. ⁎ ⁎ ὥςπερ ἤδη προοιμιαζόμενον καὶ προκαταμαναt τευόμενον περὶ τῶν καὶ αὐτοὺς εἰκος διαφέροντας περὶ παιδείαν γενέσθαι.
