Ἐν ᾧ δὲ ταῦτα ἐπράττετο, λανθάνει με διαρρυεῖσα ἡ τῆς Λευκίππης ἐπιστολή: ἔτυχον γὰρ αὐτὴν εἴσω τοῦ χιτωνίσκου προσδεδεμένην ἐκ τῶν τῆς ὀθόνης θυσάνων ἔχων: καὶ ἡ Μελίτη ἀναιρεῖται λαθοῦσα: ἐδεδίει γὰρ μή τινα τῶν πρός με αὐτῆς γραμμάτων ἦν. [2] Ὡς δὲ ἀνέγνω καθ̓ ἑαυτὴν γενομένη καὶ τὸ τῆς Λευκίππης εὗρεν ὄνομα, βάλλεται μὲν εὐθέως τὴν καρδίαν γνωρίσασα τοὔνομα, οὐ μὴν αὐτὴν ἐνόμιζεν εἶναι τῷ πολλάκις αὐτὴν ἀκοῦσαι τετελευτηκέναι. [3] Ὡς δὲ προϊοῦσα καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς τῶν γεγραμμένων ἐνέτυχε, πᾶσαν μαθοῦσα τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐμεμέριστο πολλοῖς ἅμα τὴν ψυχήν, αἰδοῖ καὶ ὀργῇ καὶ ἔρωτι καὶ ζηλοτυπίᾳ: ᾐσχύνετο τὸν ἄνδρα, ὠργίζετο τοῖς γράμμασιν, ὁ ἔρως ἐμάραινε τὴν ὀργήν, ἐξῆπτε τὸν ἔρωτα ἡ ζηλοτυπία, καὶ τέλος ἐκράτησεν ὁ ἔρως.
