οὐδέ γ᾽ ὁ νῦν ὢν Διονύσιος ἤλπισεν ἄν ποτ᾽ ἴσως πλοίῳ στρογγύλῳ καὶ στρατιώταις ὀλίγοις Δίων᾽ ἐλθόντ᾽ ἐφ᾽ αὑτὸν ἐκβαλεῖν τὸν τριήρεις πολλὰς καὶ ξένους καὶ πόλεις κεκτημένον. ἀλλ᾽, οἶμαι, τὸ μέλλον ἄδηλον πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις, καὶ μικροὶ καιροὶ μεγάλων πραγμάτων αἴτιοι γίγνονται. διὸ δεῖ μετριάζειν ἐν ταῖς εὐπραξίαις καὶ προορωμένους τὸ μέλλον φαίνεσθαι.
