καὶ κακῶς δὲ πρός τινα εἰπεῖν· ἐγὼ δήπου τὰ τοιαῦτα οἶδα, ὑπὲρ ὧν σὺ πλανᾷ πρὸς ἐμέ, κἀπὶ τούτοις διεξιών· αὗται αἱ γυναῖκες ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ τοὺς παριόντας συναρπάζουσι, καὶ οἰκία τις αὕτη τὰ σκέλη ἠρκυῖα· οὐ γὰρ οἷον λῆρός ἐστι τὸ λεγόμενον, ἀλλʼ ὥσπερ κύνες αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς συνέχονται, καὶ τὸ ὅλον ἀνδρόλαλοί τινες, καὶ αὐταὶ παρὰ τὴν θύραν τὴν αὔλειον ὑπακούουσι.
