Οὐ λυπεῖ με τὸ γῆρας· οὐ γὰρ ἡ τῆς τυραννίδος ἰσχὺς γεγήρακεν, ἀλλὰ Φάλαρις· λυπεῖς δέ με σὺ λίαν ὑπερφοβούμενός μου. τὸ γὰρ εἱμαρμένον ἥξει, κἂν Ἀρισταίνετος μᾶλλον ἢ δεῖ φοβηθῇ. πολλῷ δὲ κρεῖττόν ἐστι μὴ δεδοικότα παθεῖν τὸ μέλλον δεινὸν ἢ δεδοικότα, ἴνα σοι καὶ μετὰ παραδειγμάτων ποιητικῶν ἐπιστέλλω.
