Τίμων
ἔσται ταῦτα, ὦ Φιλιάδη. πλὴν ἀλλὰ πρόσιθι,
ὡς καὶ σὲ φιλοφρονήσωμαι τῇ δικέλλῃ.
Φιλιάδης
ἄνθρωποι, κατέαγα τοῦ κρανίου ὑπὸ τοῦ
ἀχαρίστου, διότι τὰ συμφέροντα ἐνουθέτουν αὐτόν.

ὢ τῆς ἀναισχυντίας. νῦν Τίμωνα γνωρίζετε; νῦν Γναθωνίδης φίλος καὶ συμπότης; τοιγαροῦν δίκαια πέπονθεν οὕτως ἀχάριστος ὤν. ἡμεῖς δὲ οἱ
πάλαι συνήθεις καὶ συνέφηβοι καὶ δημόται ὅμως
[p. 380] μετριάζομεν, ὡς μὴ ἐπιπηδᾶν δοκῶμεν. χαῖρε, ὦ
δέσποτα, καὶ ὅπως τοὺς μιαροὺς τούτους κόλακας φυλάξῃ, τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς τραπέζης μόνον, τὰ ἄλλα
δὲ κοράκων οὐδὲν διαφέροντας. οὐκέτι πιστευτέα τῶν νῦν οὐδενί: πάντες ἀχάριστοι καὶ πονηροί.
ἐγὼ δὲ τάλαντόν σοι κομίζων, ὡς ἔχοις πρὸς τὰ
κατεπείγοντα χρῆσθαι, καθ᾽ ὁδὸν ἢδη πλησίον
ἤκουσα, ὡς πλουτοίης ὑπερμεγέθη τινὰ πλοῦτον.
ἥκω τοιγαροῦν ταῦτά σε νουθετήσων: καίτοι
σύ γε οὕτω σοφὸς ὢν οὐδὲν ἴσως δεήσῃ τῶν παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ λόγων, ὃς καὶ τῷ Νέστορι τὸ δέον παραινέσειας ἄν.
