Non minoris admirationis illud. Stasippus Tegeates hortantibus amicis ut grauem in administratione rei publicae aemulum, sed alioqui probum et ornatum uirum qualibet ratione uel tolleret uel summoueret negauit se facturum, ne quem in tutela patriae bonus ciuis locum obtineret, malus et inprobus occuparet, seque potius uehementer ab aduersario urgueri quam patriam egregio aduocato carere praeoptauit. Pittaci quoque moderatione pectus instructum. qui Alcaeum poetam et amaritudine odii et uiribus ingenii aduersus se pertinacissime usum tyrannidem a ciuibus delatam adeptus tantum modo quid in eo opprimendo posset admonuit.
