εἶτα πῶς ὁ οἰνοχόος ὀρέξει πλῆρες οὕτω βαρὺ ἔκπωμα; ἢ σὺ δέξῃ παρʼ αὐτοῦ ἀμογητὶ οὐ σκύφον, ἀλλὰ Σισύφειόν τι βάρος ἀναδιδόντος; ἄνθρωπε, μή μʼ ἀνάλυε τὴν εὐχήν. ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ τραπέζας ὅλας χρυσᾶς ποιήσομαι καὶ τὰς κλίνας χρυσᾶς, εἰ δὲ μὴ σιωπήσῃ, καὶ τοὺς διακόνους αὐτούς. ὅρα μόνον μὴ ὥσπερ τῷ Μίδᾳ καὶ ὁ ἄρτος σοι καὶ τὸ ποτὸν χρυσὸς γένηται καὶ πλουτῶν ἄθλιος ἀπόλῃ λιμῷ διαφθαρεὶς πολυτελεῖ. τὰ σὰ ῥυθμιεῖς πιθανώτερον, ὦ Λυκῖνε, μετʼ ὀλίγον, ἐπειδὰν αὐτὸς αἰτῇς.
