Ἦν λόγος ὅτι πένητος πλουσιώτερον οὐδὲν εἴη. κινδυνεύω γάρ, ὡς ὁρῶ, μὴ πολλὰ ἔχων πολλὰ κεκτῆσθαι δι’ ὑμᾶς τοὺς φίλους, οἵτινες ἐπιμελεῖσθε ἡμῶν. ποιοῖτε δ’ ἂν εὖ, εἰ, ὅταν ὑμῖν περί του γράψω, πέμποιτέ μοι. τῶν δὲ συγγραμμάτων οὔπω τι εἶχον τοιοῦτον, ὥστε καὶ ἄλλοις θαρρεῖν δεικνύναι δίχα ἐμοῦ, ὡς παροῦσιν ὑμῖν ἔνδον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ἔνθα Εὐκλείδης κατέκειτο, ἀσμένως ἐλέσχαινον. οἴδατον δὲ δή, ὦ φίλοι, ὡς οὐχ οἷόν τε ἀναλαβεῖν ἐστὶ τὸ ἅπαξ ἐλθὸν εἰς τοὺς πολλοὺς γράμμα.
