‘Χρυσίππου
[p. 444] γὰρ μέμνησθε ὑμεῖς, ἔφη ὁ Ζηνόθεμις ἐπεγείρας ἑαυτὸν καὶ,φθεγξάμενος παμμέγεθες, ἢ ἀφ᾽ ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς οὐκ ἐννόμως φιλοσοφοῦντος Ἑτοιμοκλέους τοῦ γόητος μετρεῖτε τὸν Κλεάνθην καὶ Ζήνωνα σοφοὺς ἄνδρας; τίνες δὲ καὶ ὄντες ὑμεῖς ἐρεῖτε ταῦτα; οὐ σὺ μὲν τῶν Διοσκούρων ἤδη, ὦ Ἕρμων,
τοὺς πλοκάμους περικέκαρκας χρυσοῦς ὄντας; καὶ δώσεις δίκην παραδοθεὶς τῷ δημίῳ. σὺ δὲ τὴν
Σωστράτου γυναῖκα τοῦ μαθητοῦ ἐμοίχευες, ὦ Κλεόδημε, καὶ καταληφθεὶς τὰ αἴσχιστα ἔπαθες. οὐ σιωπήσεσθε οὖν τοιαῦτα συνεπιστάμενοι ἑαυτοῖς;’
‘ἀλλ᾽ οὐ μαστροπὸς ἐγὼ τῆς ἐμαυτοῦ γυναικός’
ἦ δ᾽ ὃς ὁ Κλεόδημος, ὥσπερ σύ, οὐδὲ τοῦ ξένου
μαθητοῦ λαβὼν τοὐφόδιον παρακαταθήκας ἔπειτα
ὤμοσα κατὰ τῆς Πολιάδος μὴ εἰληφέναι, οὐδ᾽ ἐπὶ τέτταρσι δραχμαῖς δανείζω, οὐδὲ ἄγχω τοὺς μαθητάς, ἢν μὴ κατὰ καιρὸν ἀποδῶσι τοὺς μισθούς. ἀλλ᾽ ἐκεῖνο, ἔφη ὁ Ζηνόθεμις, οὐκ
ἂν ἔξαρνος γένοιο μὴ οὐχὶ φάρμακον ἀποδόσθαι Κρίτωνι ἐπὶ τὸν πατέρα.
