‘ ἄωρον ἄνδρα περιάψωμεν. ἐρᾶται γὰρ αὐτοῦ νὴ Δία καὶ κάεται: τίς οὖν ὁ κωλύων ἐστὶ κωμάζειν ἐπὶ θύρας, ᾁδειν τὸ παρακλαυσίθυρον, ἀναδεῖν τὰ εἰκόνια, παγκρατιάζειν πρὸς τοὺς ἀντεραστάς; ταῦτα γὰρ ἐρωτικά: καὶ καθείσθω τὰς 1 ὀφρῦς καὶ παυσάσθω τρυφῶσα, σχῆμα 2 λαβοῦσα τῶν τοῦ πάθους οἰκείων. εἰ δ᾽ αἰσχύνεται καὶ σωφρονεῖ, κοσμίως οἴκοι καθήσθω 3 περιμένουσα τοὺς μνωμένους καὶ σπουδάζοντας. ἐρᾶν δὲ φάσκουσαν γυναῖκα φυγεῖν τις ἂν ἔχοι καὶ βδελυχθείη, μήτι γε λάβοι γάμου ποιησάμενος ἀρχὴν τὴν τοιαύτην ἀκρασίαν.’
παυσαμένου δὲ τοῦ Πρωτογένους, ‘ὁρᾷς’ εἶπεν ὁ πατήρ ‘ὦ Ἀνθεμίων, ὅτι πάλιν κοινὴν ποιοῦσι τὴν ὑπόθεσιν καὶ τὸν λόγον ἀναγκαῖον ἡμῖν ’
