ἠνία μὲν δὴ καὶ ταῦτα τὸν ἀντικαθήμενον τό τε εὖ πάσχειν οὐκ ὀλίγους τό τε ἀμισθί. τουτὶ γὰρ δὴ καὶ] τὸ πολλοὺς εἶναι τοὺς παρ’ ἐμὲ καταφεύγοντας ἐποίει τὸ μὴ δεῖν τιθέναι τιμὴν ὥσπερ λαχάνων ἢ κρεῶν. ἤγχετο δὲ διαφερόντως τῷ τῶν ἐπιδείξεων ἀριθμῷ καὶ αὖ πάλιν τῷ ταῖς μορφαῖς διαφέρειν λήλων καὶ ἠπορεῖτο καθήμενος, ὁπότε ἄρα πλάττοιμι τοὺς λόγους, οὐκ εἰδώς, ὅ,τι ἐστὶ καὶ τὸ ὕπνου περι- εἶναι.
