ἐπανελθὼν δὲ εἰς Ῥώμην οἰκίαν ἐδείματο τῆς ἀγορᾶς πλησίον, εἴτε, ὡς αὐτὸς ἔλεγε, τοὺς θεραπεύοντας αὐτὸν ἐνοχλεῖσθαι μὴ βουλόμενος μακρὰν βαδίζοντας, εἴτε τοῦτο αἴτιον οἰόμενος εἶναι τοῦ μὴ πλείονας ἄλλων ἐπὶ θύρας αὐτοῦ φοιτᾶν. τὸ δ’ οὐκ ἦν ἄρα τοιοῦτον ἀλλʼ ὁμιλίας χάριτι καὶ πολιτικαῖς χρείαις ἑτέρων λειπόμενος ὥσπερ ὄργανον πολεμικὸν ἐπʼ εἰρήνης παρημεχεῖτο.
