ταῦτα μὲν ἔασον: ἀλλὰ τῷ θεῷ διὰ τί με χρῆσθαι οὐκ ἐᾷς;
ἐγὼ γὰρ ἀπαγορεύω σοι θεῷ χρῆσθαι, εἰ δύνασαι; οὐ τοῦτο ἔφην,
ἀλλ᾽ ὅτι χαλεπόν ἐστι, μᾶλλον δὲ ἀδύνατον, χρῆσθαι ἢ θεῷ ἢ
ἀνθρώπῳ ἢ αὐτὸν αὑτῷ μὴ ἐπιστάμενον: τὸ δὲ ἐπιχειρεῖν ἄνευ
[p. 112]
τοῦ ἐπίστασθαι πάντων βλαβερώτατον: ἢ ὅστις οἰκ ἔστιν ἔμπειρος
ἵππων χρήσεως, δοκεῖ σοι οὗτος χρῆσθαι ἂν ἵπποις; οὐκ
ἔμοιγε. εἰ δ᾽ αὖ βιάζοιτο, κακὸν ἄν τι ἀπολαῦσαι πρότερον ἢ
ἀγαθόν; ἀληθῆ.
