190. Σπεύσιππος Ξενοκράτει. Ἔδοξέ μοι γράψαι πρὸς σὲ ἐπιστολὴν περὶ τῶν συμβεβηκότων κατὰ τὸ σωμάτιον ᵃ. Οὐ γὰρ μετρίως ἐκλελοίπασιν αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν μερῶν ἁπάντων, ὥστε μηδὲν αὐτοῖς ἐνεργεῖν ἐμὲ δύνασθαι ᵇ· κατὰ τύχην δέ τινα ἡ γλῶττα καὶ τὰ περὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν μεμένηκεν, εἰ μὴ καὶ διὰ τὸ κεχαρισμένον καὶ διὰ τὸ θειότατον εἶναι. Πάνυ μὲν οὖν ἐβουλόμην παρεῖναί σε· εὖ δὲ ποιήσεις καὶ νῦν παραγενόμενος. Καὶ γὰρ τῶν περὶ ἐμὲ προστήσῃ κατὰ τρόπον, ὡς ἐγὼ εὖ οἶδα, καὶ τῶν ἐν τῷ περιπάτῳ ἐπιμελήσῃ προσηκόντως.
