ἡδοναί. καὶ σώφρων μὲν πᾶς καὶ παιδείας κἂν μετρίως μεμυημένος τῆς αὐλῆς ὡς ἐπίβουλος ἐδιώκετο, γελωτοποιοὶ δὲ καὶ τῶν αἰσχίστων ὑποκριταὶ εἶχον αὐτὸν ὑποχείριον. ἁρμάτων τε ἡνιοχείας καὶ θηρίων ἐξ ἀντιστάσεως μάχας ἐπαιδεύετο, τῶν μὲν κολάκων ἐς ἀνδρείας δόξαν αὐτὰ ἀνυμνούντων, τοῦ δὲ ἀπρεπέστερον μετιόντος ἢ βασιλεῖ σώφρονι ἥρμοζεν.
