ἔστι δ’ οὗτος πολίτης τ’ ἐμὸς καὶ τῆς πόλεως τὰ πρῶτα καὶ ἐκ ταὐτοῦ μοι κρατῆρος ἐν Μουσῶν κήποις πιὼν καὶ πρῶτον μὲν δίκας λέ- γῶν, νῦν δ’ ἐπιστολὰς γράφων ἄμφω παρὰ βασιλεῦσιν, τῷ μὲν πατρί, τῷ δὲ υἱεῖ, σφόδρα ἠδικηκώς ἴσως δὲ οὐδὲ μικρὸν † ἀδικῶν οὐ μικρὸν φρονῶν <τῷ> σὰ περιφανθῆναι ἀπὸ ἐκείνου δεινότητος καὶ τὸ ἔτι δεινότερον, Θεμιστίου παραβοη- θοῦντος. τὴν μὲν οὖν ῥητορείαν ἐν οἷς ἐνεκάλεσεν ἐΜεν, τὴν δὲ φιλανθρωπίαν έν οἷς ἐπικουρήσειν ὑπέσχετο.
