ὥσπερ δὲ ἐν ἀγῶνι σωμάτων οἱ μὲν ἀσθενεῖς καὶ παρὰ τὸ εἰκὸς ἐπιτολμήσαντες τῇ τοῦ νικᾶν ἐλπίδι τάχυ ἀπεῖπον, οἱ δὲ ἐφάμιλλοι ἀρετῇ μένουσιν καὶ καρτεροῦσιν καὶ διαγωνίζονται περὶ τῆς νίκης· οὕτω κἀν τῇ τῶν βίων ἀγωνίᾳ οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι ἡμῖν ἐκκηρυχθέντες τὲ καὶ ἀπαγορεύσαντες οἰχέσθωσαν· οἴ δὲ θεωρητικοῖς ἐφαμίλλω ὄντε καὶ ἀμφισβητησίμω δεῦρο ἰόν|των ἀγωνιουμένω τὰ νῦν τῷ λόγῳ.
