ἔφασκέ σε τρέμειν μέλλοντα τὴν παῖδα δείξειν. ἡδὺς ὁ τρόμος πατρὶ καὶ ὃν ἐπελθεῖν εὔξατο, φανεῖσαν τὴν κόρην ἐκπλῆξαι τοὺς θεατὰς τῇ τε ἄλλῃ καὶ τῷ κάλλει τῶν ὀμμάτων, ὥστ’ εἶναι τοὺς λέγοντας· Ἀρ- τέμιδι ἰκέλη. τοῦθ’ ἥσθην ἀκούσας <καὶ> α ὅτι τῷ κάλλει τῆς ψυχῆς ἁμιλλᾶται τὸ τοῦ σώματος καὶ ὁ μὲν φίλος ἡμῖν πατὴρ τοιαύτης, ὁ δὲ μαθητὴς ἡμῖν ἀνὴρ τοιαύτης.
