καὶ μὴ νόμιζέ με καταγιγνώσκειν, ὡς νῦν ἀμελεῖς, ὅτι πολλάκις σοι διακελεύομαι περὶ τῶν αὐτῶν. οὐ γὰρ οὔτʼ ἐμὲ λέληθας οὔτε τοὺς ἄλλους ὅτι καὶ πρῶτος καὶ μόνος τῶν ἐν τυραννίδι καὶ πλούτῳ καὶ τρυφαῖς ὄντων φιλοσοφεῖν καὶ πονεῖν ἐπικεχείρηκας, οὐδʼ ὅτι πολλοὺς τῶν βασιλέων ποιήσεις ζηλώσαντας τὴν σὴν παίδευσιν τούτων τῶν διατριβῶν ἐπιθυμεῖν, ἀφεμένους ἐφʼ οἷς νῦν λίαν χαίρουσιν.
