‘‘
[18]
οὐδὲ ὀχληρὸς ἔσῃ τοῖς νέοις βλεπόμενος.’ ἂν ταῦτα λέγῃς, ὦ πάτερ, οὐκ οἴει πολὺ ἀληθέστερα
καὶ γενναιότερα ^ ἐκείνων ἐρεῖν ; ἀλλ᾽ ἆρα μὴ τόδε σε ἀνιᾷ, καὶ διανοῇ τὸν παρ᾽
ἡμῖν ζόφον καὶ τὸ πολὺ σκότος, κᾆτα δέδιας μή σοι ἀποπνιγῶ κατακλεισθεὶς ἐν τῷ μνήματι; χρὴ
δὲ πρὸς ταῦτα λογίζεσθαι ὅτι τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν
διασαπέντων ἢ καὶ νὴ Δία καέντων μετ᾽ ὀλίγον,
εἴ γε καῦσαί με διεγνώκατε, οὔτε σκότος οὔτε φῶς ὁρᾶν δεησόμεθα.
