οὐκοῦν ἐγὼ μὲν οὐδὲ νῦν ἀποστήσομαι τῆς νεώς, ἀλλʼ ἐπείπερ ἔξεστιν, ἐπιμετρήσω τῇ εὐχῇ· ὁ δὲ Ἑρμῆς ὁ κερδῷος ἐπινευσάτω ἅπασιν. ἔστω γὰρ τὸ πλοῖον καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ πάντα ἐμὰ καὶ ὁ φόρτος οἱ ἔμποροι αἱ γυναῖκες οἱ ναῦται καὶ ἄλλο εἴ τι ἥδιστον κτημάτων ἁπάντων. λέληθας σεαυτὸν ἔχων ἐν τῇ νηΐ. τὸν παῖδα φής, ὦ Σάμιππε, τὸν κομήτην. κἀκεῖνος οὖν ἔστω ἐμός. ὁπόσος δὲ ὁ πυρὸς ἔνδον ἐστίν, οὗτος ὁ ἀριθμὸς ἅπας χρυσίον ἐπίσημον γενέσθω, τοσοῦτοι δαρεικοί.
