μόλις δ’ οὖν ποτε αὑτὸν ἀναλαβὼν καὶ τὸ πολλὰ κατηναγκάσθαι πράττειν αἰτιασάμενος, ἐπειδὴ καλῶν μὲν ἐπ’ ἄριστον ἤκουσεν, ὡς δειπνοίην, καλῶν δὲ ἐπὶ δεῖπνον ἤκουσεν, ὡς καὶ τοῦτο ἐξὸν ποιεῖν ἡ κεφαλὴ κωλύοι, σὺ δ’ ἀλλὰ θαμίζειν ἡμῖν, ἔφη. καλοῦντός γε, ἔφην· ἄλλως δὲ οὐκ ἐνοχλήσειν. ὁ δὲ πείθεταί τε καὶ οὕτως ἐποίει.
