δοκοῦσι μὲν γὰρ οἱ φαῦλοι τὰ ἀσθενῆ κραταιοῦσθαι κατὰ τῶν ἀμεινόνων καὶ τὰ διαλυόμενα καὶ ῥέοντα ἐξ αὐτῶν πήττειν, ἵν’ ἐπ’ ἐχυροῦ βάλωσι καὶ τοξεύσωσιν ἀρετήν· ὁ δ’ ἵλεως καὶ πατὴρ τῶν καλῶν οὐκ ἐφήσει τὸ δεδεμένον ἐκνικᾶν εἰς ἀδιάλυτον ἀσφάλειαν, ῥεούσης σπουδῆς μὴ ὑφεστὼς ἔργον ὡς πλαδῶντα πηλὸν ἀναδείξας.
