ἀλλ’ ὡς μηδὲν εἰδὼς τῶν αὐτῷ συμβεβηκότων, ἀλλ’ οὐδ’ ὅτε τὰ ὀνείρατα διέκρινεν ἢ τοῖς εὐνούχοις ἢ τῷ βασιλεῖ, καιρὸν ἔχων εἰς μήνυσιν ἐπιτήδειον, ἐφθέγξατό τι περὶ τῆς ἰδίας εὐγενείας, οὐδ’ ὅτε βασιλέως ὕπαρχος ἐχειροτονεῖτο καὶ τῆς Αἰγύπτου πάσης τὴν ἐπιμέλειαν καὶ προστασίαν παρελάμβανεν, ἵνα μὴ δόξῃ τις εἶναι τῶν ἠμελημένων καὶ ἀφανῶν, ἀλλὰ τῷ ὄντι εὐπατρίδης, οὐ φύσει δοῦλος, ἀλλ’ ἐπιβουλὰς ὑφ’ ὧν ἥκιστ’ ἐχρῆν ἀνηκέστους ὑπομεμενηκὼς καὶ συμφοράς.
