Ἄλλοτέ ποτε τοῦ Ξάνθου ἐξ ἀφέδρου ἐπανιόντος, καὶ πυθομένου τὸν Αἴσωπον, τί δή ποτε οἱ ἄνθρω- ποι μετʼ ἀπόπατον τὰ τῆς γαστρὸς ἐκκρίματα βλέ- πουσιν, ἐκεῖνος ἔφη „κατὰ τοὺς πάλαι χρόνους ἀνήρ τις τῶν τρυφερώτερον ζώντων πολύν χρόνον ὑπὸ σπατάλης ἐν τῇ ἀφόδῳ ἐκάθητο, ὡς καὶ τὰς οἰκείας ἐκεῖ διατρίβων ἀποπατῆσαι φρένας. ἐξ ἐκείνου τοί- νυν δεδοικότες οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων πρὸς τὰ τῆς γαστρὸς ἑαυτῶν ἀφορῶσι λύματα, μήπως καὶ αὐτοὶ τοῦτο πεπόνθασιν. ἀλλὰ σύ, δέσποτα, μὴ φοβοῦ· οὐ γὰρ ἔχεις φρένας.“
