εἰ δή σοι δοκεῖ πορευθεὶς ἔξω τῆς πόλεως ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ λανθάνων διαμενῶ, σὺ δʼ ἐπιζητήσαντος αὐτοῦ λέγε πορευθῆναί με εἰς τὴν πατρίδα Βηθλέεμʼ ἑορτήν μου τῆς φυλῆς ἀγούσης προστιθεὶς ὅτι σύ μοι συγκεχώρηκας. κἂν μὲν οἷον εἰκὸς καὶ σύνηθές ἐστι λέγειν ἐπὶ φίλοις ἀποδημοῦσιν ἐπʼ ἀγαθῷ βεβάδικεν εἴπῃ, ἴσθι μηδὲν ὕπουλον παρʼ αὐτοῦ εἶναι μηδʼ ἐχθρόν· ἂν δʼ ὡς ἄλλως ἀποκρίνηται τοῦτʼ ἔσται τεκμήριον τῶν κατʼ ἐμοῦ βεβουλευμένων.
