τοὺς κίονας τοὺς Δαφναίους θοῦ πρὸ τῶν ἄλλων· τοὺς ἐκ βασιλείων τῶν πανταχοῦ λαβῶν ἀποκόμισον, ὑπόστησον δὲ εἰς τὰς ἐκείνων χώρας τοὺς ἐκ τῶν ἔναγχος κατειλημμένων οἰκιῶν· εἰ δὲ κἀκεῖθεν ἐπιλείποιεν, ὀπτῆς πλίνθου καὶ κόνεως τέως ἔξωθεν μαρμαρώσαντες εὐτελεστέροις χρησώμεθα· τὸ δὲ ὅσιον ὅτι πολυτελείας ἐστὶ κρεῖττον καὶ τοῖς εὖ φρονοῦσιν ἡδονὴν ἐν βίῳ καὶ τῇ χρήσει ἔχον πολλήν, αὐτὸς οἶδας.
