καὶ ἐγὼ ἀκούσας ταῦτα· μέλει γὰρ δή σοι, ὦ Ἰσχόμαχε, ὅπως πλουτῇς καὶ πολλὰ χρήματα ἔχων πολλὰ ἔχῃς πράγματα τούτων ἐπιμελόμενος; καὶ πάνυ γʼ, ἔφη ὁ Ἰσχόμαχος, μέλει μοι τούτων ὧν ἐρωτᾷς· ἡδὺ γάρ μοι δοκεῖ, ὦ Σώκρατες, καὶ θεοὺς μεγαλείως τιμᾶν καὶ φίλους, ἄν τινος δέωνται, ἐπωφελεῖν καὶ τὴν πόλιν μηδὲν τὸ κατʼ ἐμὲ χρήμασιν ἀκόσμητον εἶναι.
