Πρωτέᾳ δέ τινι τῶν περὶ
σκώμματα καὶ πότον οὐκ ἀμούσων ἔδοξε δι᾽ ὀργῆς γεγονέναι τῶν δὲ φίλων
δεομένων κἀκείνου δακρύοντος ἔφη διαλλάττεσθαι κἀκεῖνος, ‘οὐκοῦν,’ εἶπεν, ‘ὦ βασιλεῦ,
δός τί μοι πιστὸν πρῶτον.’ ἐκέλευσεν οὖν αὐτῷ πέντε τάλαντα
δοθῆναι. περὶ δὲ τῶν τοῖς φίλοις καὶ τοῖς
σωματοφύλαξι νεμομένων πλούτων, ἡλίκον εἶχον ὄγκον, ἐμφαίνει δι᾽
ἐπιστολῆς Ὀλυμπιάς, ἣν ἔγραψε πρὸς αὐτόν.
