‘ ἐγώ, φίλε παῖ, Ἑρμογλυφική τέχνη εἰμί, ἣν χθὲς ἤρξω μανθάνειν, οἰκεία τέ σοι καὶ συγγενὴς οἴκοθεν ^ ὅ τε γὰρ πάππος σου —’ εἰποῦσα τοὔνομα τοῦ μητροπάτορος — ‘ λιθοξόος ἦν καὶ τὼ θείω ἀμφοτέρω καὶ μάλα εὐδοκιμεῖτον δι᾽ ἡμᾶς.
εἰ δ᾽ ἐθέλεις λήρων μὲν καὶ φληνάφων τῶν παρὰ ταύτης ἀπέχεσθαι,’ : — δείξασα τὴν ἑτέραν — ‘ ἕπεσθαι δὲ καὶ συνοικεῖν ἐμοί, πρῶτα μὲν θρέψῃ γεννικῶς καὶ τοὺς ὤμους ἕξεις καρτερούς, φθόνου
δὲ παντὸς ἀλλότριος ἔσῃ: καὶ οὔποτε ἄπει ἐπὶ τὴν
ἀλλοδαπήν, τὴν πατρίδα, καὶ τοὺς οἰκείους
καταλιπών, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ λόγοις . . ἐπαινέσονταί σε πάντες.
