ἑταιρικὴ μὲν ἡ παραίνεσις, ἐμὲ δὲ οὐκ οἶδʼ ὅπως ἡ μνήμη τῶν παρὰ τὸν βίον ἀνιᾷ, οἶμαι δὲ καὶ ὑμῶν ἕκαστον· εἰ δὲ μὴ ὁμολογεῖτε, ταύτῃ χείρους ἐστὲ καθʼ ἡσυχίαν αὐτὸ πάσχοντες. οὔκ, ἀλλʼ ἀμείνους, ὦ Ἀχιλλεῦ· τὸ γὰρ ἀνωφελὲς τοῦ λέγειν ὁρῶμεν· σιωπᾶν γὰρ καὶ φέρειν και ἀνέχεσθαι δέδοκται ἡμῖν, μὴ καὶ γέλωτα ὄφλωμεν ὥσπερ καὶ σὺ τοιαῦτα εὐχόμενοι.
