τίς οὗτός ἐστιν, ὦ Ἑρμῆ, ὁ κεκραγὼς ἐκ τῆς Ἀττικῆς παρὰ τὸν Ὑμηττὸν ἐν τῇ ὑπωρείᾳ πιναρὸς ὅλος καὶ αὐχμῶν καὶ ὑποδίφθερος; σκάπτει δὲ οἶμαι ἐπικεκυφώς· λάλος ἄνθρωπος καὶ θρασύς. ἦ που φιλόσοφός ἐστιν· οὐ γὰρ ἂν οὕτως ἀσεβεῖς τοὺς λόγους διεξῄει καθʼ ἡμῶν. τί φής, ὦ πάτερ; ἀγνοεῖς Τίμωνα τὸν Ἐχεκρατίδου τὸν Κολλυτέα; οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ πολλάκις ἡμᾶς καθʼ ἱερῶν τελείων ἑστιάσας, ὁ νεόπλουτος, ὁ τὰς ὅλας ἑκατόμβας, παρʼ ᾧ λαμπρῶς ἑορτάζειν εἰώθαμεν τὰ Διάσια. φεῦ τῆς ἀλλαγῆς· ὁ καλὸς ἐκεῖνος, ὁ πλούσιος, περὶ ὃν οἱ τοσοῦτοι φίλοι; τί παθὼν οὖν τοιοῦτός ἐστιν, αὐχμηρός, ἄθλιος, καὶ σκαπανεὺς καὶ μισθωτός, ὡς ἔοικεν, οὕτω βαρεῖαν καταφέρων τὴν δίκελλαν;
