εἱστιώμεθα οὖν ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ τὸ πρῶτον, καὶ παρεσκεύαστο ποικίλα. πλὴν οὐδὲν οἶμαι χρὴ καὶ ταῦτα καταριθμεῖσθαι, χυμοὺς καὶ πέμματα καὶ καρυκείας· ἅπαντα γὰρ ἄφθονα. ἐν τούτῳ δὲ ὁ Κλεόδημος ἐπικύψας ἐς τὸν Ἴωνα, ὁρᾷς, ἔφη, τὸν γέροντα — Ζηνόθεμιν λέγων, ἐπήκουον γάρ — ὅπως ἐμφορεῖται τῶν ὄψων καὶ ἀναπέπλησται ζωμοῦ τὸ ἱμάτιον καὶ ὅσα τῷ παιδὶ κατόπιν ἑστῶτι ὀρέγει λανθάνειν οἰόμενος τοὺς ἄλλους, οὐ μεμνημένος τῶν μεθʼ αὑτόν; δεῖξον οὖν καὶ Λυκίνῳ ταῦτα, ὡς μάρτυς εἴη. ἐγὼ δὲ οὐδὲν ἐδεόμην δείξοντός μοι τοῦ Ἴωνος πολὺ πρότερον αὐτὰ ἐκ περιωπῆς ἑωρακώς.
