τοιούτους ἐπαίνους ἠρέμα συνειρόντων, τράπεζαι μὲν οὐ σφόδρα πολυτελεῖς εἰσκομίζονται, διὰ τὸν λιμὸν οὐκ ἀξιώσαντος τοῦ ξενοδόχου ταῖς ἑτέρων ἀτυχίαις ἐντρυφᾶν· αὐτοὶ δ’ ἅτε σύνεσιν ἀκριβεῖς καὶ τοῦτ’ εἰς τὰ ἐγκώμια παρελάμβανον, ὡς ἀπειροκαλίαν, πρᾶγμα ἐπίφθονον, ἀπέστραπται, λέγοντες· ὡς καὶ τὸ τοῦ συναλγοῦντος τοῖς δεομένοις καὶ τὸ τοῦ ἑστιάτορος σχῆμα διασῴζει μεθόριον ἀμφοῖν τιθεὶς αὑτὸν καὶ τὴν ἐν ἑκατέρῳ μέμψιν ἐκφεύγων.
