Ὁ δὲ νεανίας τοσαύτῃ πίστεως ἐχρήσατο ὑπερβολῇ, ὥστε τῶν καιρῶν καὶ τῶν πραγμάτων εἰς ἀργυρισμὸν παρεχόντων πλείστας ὅσας ἀφορμάς, δυνηθεὶς δι’ ὀλίγου πλουσιώτατας τῶν κατ’ αὐτὸν γενέσθαι, τὸν γνήσιον ὡς ἀληθῶς πρὸ τοῦ νόθου πλοῦτον καὶ τὸν βλέποντα πρὸ τοῦ τυφλοῦ θαυμάσας ἅπαντα τὸν ἄργυρον καὶ χρυσόν, ὅσον ἐκ τῆς τιμῆς ἤθροισε τοῦ σίτου, ἐν τοῖς βασιλέως ἐθησαυρίζετο ταμιείοις οὐδεμίαν δραχμὴν νοσφισάμενος, ἀλλὰ μόναις ἀρκεσθεὶς ταῖς δωρεαῖς, αἷς ἀμειβόμενος ἐκεῖνος ἀντεχαρίζετο.
