Οἶμαι φανερὰν εἶναι διὰ παντὸς τοῦ χρόνου τὴν ἐμὴν προθυμίαν καὶ ὅτι πολλὴν πρόνοιαν εἶχον περὶ ὑμῶν οὐκ ἄλλου τινὸς ἕνεκα μᾶλλον ἢ τῆς ἐπὶ τοῖς καλοῖς φιλοτιμίας· νομίζω γὰρ δίκαιον εἶναι τοὺς ὄντας τῇ ἀληθείᾳ ἐπιεικεῖς καὶ πράττοντας τοιαῦτα τυγχάνειν δόξης τῆς προσηκούσης· ὅτι δὲ τὰ καιριώτατα τοῦ σώματος κάμνοντι, ἡ κεφαλὴ καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ περίεστιν, εὖ ἔχει, τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν τὴν προσήκουσαν ἐπιμέλειαν ποιοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἰατρῶν καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπιβλέπων τὸ χρήσιμον· ἀνδρείᾳ γὰρ καὶ ῥώμῃ καὶ τάχει διενεγκεῖν δόξειεν ἂν χαρίεντος εἶναι.
