οὑτωσὶ μὲν εἰπεῖν, χρηστότης ἐπέτριψεν αὐτὸν
καὶ φιλανθρωπία καὶ ὁ πρὸς τοὺς δεομένους
ἅπαντας οἶκτος, ὡς δὲ ἀληθεῖ λόγῳ, ἄνοια καὶ
εὐήθεια καὶ ἀκρισία περὶ τῶν φίλων, ὃς οὐ συνίει κόραξι καὶ λύκοις χαριζόμενος, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὸ γυπῶν
τοσούτων ὁ κακοδαίμων κειρόμενος τὸ ἧπαρ φίλους εἶναι αὐτοὺς καὶ ἑταίρους ᾤετο, ὑπ᾽ εὐνοίας τῆς πρὸς αὐτὸν χαίροντας τῇ βορᾷ: οἱ δὲ τὰ ὀστᾶ γυμνώσαντες ἀκριβῶς καὶ περιτραγόντες, εἰ δέ τις καὶ μυελὸς ἐνῆν, ἐκμυζήσαντες καὶ τοῦτον εὖ μάλα ἐπιμελῶς, ᾤχοντο αὖον αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς ῥίζας ὑποτετμημένον ἀπολιπόντες, οὐδὲ γνωρίζοντες ἔτι ἢ
προσβλέποντες — πόθεν γάρ;- — ἢ ἐπικουροῦντες ἢ ἐπιδιδόντες ἐν τῷ μέρει. διὰ ταῦτα δικελλίτης καὶ διφθερίας, ὡς ὁρᾷς, ἀπολιπὼν ὑπ᾽ αἰσχύνης τὸ ἄστυ μισθοῦ γεωργεῖ μελαγχολῶν τοῖς κακοῖς, ὅτι οἱ πλουτοῦντες παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ μάλα ὑπεροπτικῶς
παρέρχονται οὐδὲ τοὔνομα, εἰ Τίμων καλοῖτο, εἰδότες.
