καλὸν δὲ οἶμαί σου καὶ τὸ τὸν νεανίσκον Ἀρισταινέτου μὲν συγγενῆ, χορευτὴν δὲ ἐμόν, αἰσχύνεσθαι δὲ εἰδότα, φιλεῖν δὲ μεμελετηκότα μὴ περιιδεῖν πράττοντα χείρω τῶν αὑτοῦ χειρόνων, ἀλλ’ εἴσω τε δέξασθαι καὶ μεταδοῦναι χώρας ἐντίμου καὶ ποιῆσαι λαμπρὸν τοῖς τε νῦν τοῖς τε ἐλπιζομένοις. καὶ ταῦτα ἂν νομίζῃς οὐκ εἰς Διάνιον μᾶλλον ἢ ἐμὲ πεπρᾶχθαι, τὰ ὄντα δοξάσεις. οὗτος γὰρ δὴ πλεῖστά με εὐφράνας ἑταίρων ἐλύπησεν ἥκιστα.
