κεῖναι γὰρ ὤπασαν: αἱ Χάριτες τὰ ἐν τῷ βίῳ τερπνὰ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις παρέσχον· | ἀγαθοὶ δὲ καὶ σοφοὶ καὶ ἀνδρεῖοι ἄνθρωποι κατὰ βούλησιν τοῦ δαιμονίου καὶ θεῶν γίνονται. Χαρίτων μὲν γὰρ ἔργον οἶδε τὸ τὰ πράγματα χαριέντως ἀποτερματίζειν, Μοιρῶν δὲ καὶ εἱμαρμένης τὸ δυνατούς τινας κατὰ ἀνδρείαν καὶ | συνετοὺς κατὰ φρόνησιν γίνεσθαι. λεληθότως δὲ ὁ Πίνδαρος διὰ τὸ ἀνεπαχθὲς τὰ ἴδια ἐπεξεργάζεται ἐγκώμια.
