Ἐπὶ ποσὸν δὲ ὁ Τρύφων ἐπισχών· Ὁρᾷς, ἔφη, ὅτι οὐκ ἀπὸ ἐπιτηδεύσεως γέγονεν ἐν τούτοις ἡμᾶς συμβαλεῖν. Καὶ ὅτι ἐξαιρέτως ἥσθην τῇ συνουσίᾳ, ὁμολογῶ, καὶ τούτους δὲ οἶμαι ὁμοίως ἐμοὶ διατεθεῖσθαι· πλέον γὰρ εὕρομεν ἢ προσεδοκῶμεν καὶ προσδοκηθῆναί ποτε δυνατὸν ἦν. Εἰ δὲ συνεχέστερον ἦν τοῦτο ποιεῖν ἡμᾶς, μᾶλλον ἂν ὠφεληθεῖμεν, ἐξετάζοντες αὐτοὺς τοὺς λόγους· ἀλλ᾿ ἐπειδή, φησί, πρὸς τῇ ἀναγωγῇ εἶ καὶ καθ᾿ ἡμέραν πλοῦν ποιεῖσθαι προσδοκᾷς, μὴ ὄκνει ὡς φίλων ἡμῶν μεμνῆσθαι ἐὰν ἀπαλλαγῇς.
