νῦν μὲν γὰρ ἔγωγε ἀγαπῶ ἤν γ᾽ ἐξ ἴσου τῳ θεῖν ὁρμηθεὶς ἀνθρώπων μόνον τῇ κεφαλῇ πρόσχω, κἂν θηρίον παραθέον ἰδὼν δυνασθῶ διατεινάμενος φθάσαι ὥστε ἀκοντίσαι ἢ τοξεῦσαι πρὶν πάνυ πρόσω αὐτὸ γενέσθαι. ἢν δ᾽ ἱππεὺς γένωμαι, δυνήσομαι μὲν ἄνδρα ἐξ ὄψεως μήκους καθαιρεῖν: δυνήσομαι δὲ θηρία διώκων τὰ μὲν ἐκ χειρὸς παίειν καταλαμβάνων, τὰ δὲ ἀκοντίζειν ὥσπερ ἑστηκότα: καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν ἀμφότερα ταχέα ᾖ, ὅμως δὲ πλησίον γίγνηται ἀλλήλων, ὥσπερ τὰ ἑστηκότα ἐστίν.
