καλῶς, ὦ Τιμόλαε, καὶ πείθομαί σοι καὶ ὅταν ὁ καιρὸς καλῇ, εὔξομαι ἅπερ ἂν δοκῇ. εἰ μὲν γὰρ Ἀδείμαντος βούλεται, οὐδὲ ἐρωτᾶν οἶμαι, ὅς γε δὴ ἐν τῇ νηῒ τὸν ἕτερον πόδα ἔχει. χρὴ δὲ καὶ Λυκίνῳ δοκεῖν. ἀλλὰ πλουτῶμεν, εἰ τοῦτο ἄμεινον, μὴ καὶ βασκαίνειν ἐν ταῖς κοιναῖς εὐτυχίαις δοκῶ. τίς δʼ οὖν πρῶτος ἄρξεται; σύ, ὦ Ἀδείμαντε, εἶτα μετὰ σὲ οὑτοσὶ Σάμιππος, εἶτα Τιμόλαος, ἐγὼ δὲ ὀλίγον ὅσον ἡμιστάδιον τὸ πρὸ τοῦ Διπύλου ἐπιλήψομαι τῇ εὐχῇ, καὶ τοῦτο ὡς οἷόν τε παραδραμών.
