οἵ τε χρυσοχόοι τὸ χρυσίον εἰς τὸ πῦρ ἐμβάλλοντες, τῇ βασάνῳ τῆς καμίνου παραδιδόασιν, ὥστε ποιῆσαι καθαρώτατον· οἵ τε παιδοτρίβαι, ἐν τῇ παλαίστρᾳ πολλοῖς πόνοις τοὺς ἀθλοῦντας γυμνάζουσι, τῶν ἀντιπάλων σφοδρότερον αὐτοῖς ἐμπίπτοντες, ἵνα ἐν τῇ γυμνασίᾳ τὸ πᾶν κατορθώσαντες ἐν τοῖς αὐτῶν σώμασιν, ἐπὶ τῶν ἀγώνων εὐτρεπεῖς ὧσι καὶ παρεσκευασμένοι πρὸς τὰς λαβὰς τῶν ἐχθρῶν καὶ ῥᾳδίως αὐτὰς διαλύσωσιν, οὕτω καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῷ παρόντι βίῳ ποιεῖ.
