[11]
καὶ ὁ νῦν πένης ὁ τοῦ δεῖνος, ὁ βουλευσάμενὸς
τι περὶ ἀγεννοῦς οὕτω τέχνης, μετ᾽ ὀλίγον ἅπασι ζηλωτὸς καὶ ἐπίφθονος ἔσῃ, τιμώμενος καὶ ἐπαινούμενος καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀρίστοις εὐδοκιμῶν καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν γένει καὶ πλούτῳ προὐχόντων ἀποβλεπόμενος, ἐσθῆτα μὲν τοιαύτην ἀμπεχόμενος,’
’ — δείξασα τὴν ἑαυτῆς: πάνυ δὲ λαμπρὰν ἐφόρει — ‘ ἀρχῆς δὲ καὶ προεδρίας ἀξιούμενος. κἄν που ἀποδημῇς, οὐδ᾽ ἐπὶ τῆς ἀλλοδαπῆς ἀγνὼς οὐδ᾽ ἀφανὴς ἔσῃ: τοιαῦτά σοι περιθήσω τὰ γνωρίσματα ὥστε τῶν ὁρώντων ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον κινήσας δείξει σε τῷ δακτύλῳ, ‘οὗτος ἐκεῖνος’
