ἀλλὰ κἂν ἵππον ἴδῃ ἱππικὸς ἀνὴρ καὶ τοῦ κάλλους ἐπαινέσῃ, καὶ κτήσασθαι μὴ δυνηθῇ, οὐ δεῖται βρόχου· ἐξαρκεῖ δὲ καὶ τῷ γεωργῷ καὶ ἐν γειτόνων, εἰ δὴ φυτὸν καλόν, ἡ ὄψις αὐτή· ἐξαρκεῖ καὶ τῷ θηρευτῇ, κἂν παῤ ἄλλῳ ιδῃ σκύλακα ὡραῖον, ἡ ὄψις αὐτή· καὶ οὐδεὶς τούτων θανατᾷ δι᾿ ἀπορίαν τῶν κτημάτων. Ἐρῶσιν καὶ οἱ φιλοχρήματοι χρυσοῦ μᾶλλον, ἢ οἱ ἐρασταὶ σωμάτων, καὶ συγκατορύττεσθαι ἐθέλουσιν τῷ χρυσῷ μᾶλλον, ἢ τοῖς σώμασιν οἱ ἐρασταί· ἀλλ᾿ οὐδεὶς θανατᾷ τούτων, ἐὰν μὴ τύχῃ χρυσοῦ.
