[35]
δέομαι δέ, ἂν οἱ
λόγοι φαίνωνται πικρότεροι, μηθὲν ἐμοὶ δυσχεραίνειν. οὐδὲ γὰρ
ὑμᾶς φημι τοῦτο ποιεῖν, τρόπον δέ τινα ἀκούσης τῆς πόλεως αὐτὸ
γίγνεσθαι. τὸ δὲ πρᾶγμα εἰ τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν ὥστε πάναισχρον δοκεῖν
ἐξεταζόμενον, τοσούτῳ προθυμότερον ὑμᾶς ἀκούειν δεῖ τοῦ λέγοντος,
ὥστε ἀπηλλάχθαι τὸ λοιπὸν τῆς αἰσχύνης. οὐδὲ γὰρ τὰ ἐν
τοῖς σώμασι δυσχερῆ χωρὶς ὀδύνης ἔστιν ἰάσασθαι, πολλάκις δὲ
αὐτὸ τοῦτο σημεῖον ὑπάρχει τοῦ σφόδρα ἐπείγειν τὴν θεραπείαν,
τὸ σφόδρα ἀλγεῖν τὸ θεραπευόμενον.
Dionis Prusaensis quem vocant Chrysostomum quae exstant omnia, Vols I and II. Dio Chrysostom. J. de Arnim. Weidmann. Berlin. 1893. Keyboarding.
