ἀκαιρίας ΙΒ᾽

ἡ μὲν οὖν ἀκαιρία ἐστὶν ἐπίτευξις λυποῦσα τοὺς [2] ἐντυγχάνοντας, ὁ δὲ ἄκαιρος τοιοῦτός τις, οἷος ἀσχολουμένῳ [3] προσελθὼν ἀνακοινοῦσθαι. καὶ πρὸς τὴν αὑτοῦ ἐρωμένην [4] κωμάζειν πυρέττουσαν. καὶ δίκην ὠφληκότα ἐγγύης προσελθὼν [5] κελεῦσαι αὑτὸν ἀναδέξασθαι. καὶ μαρτυρήσων [6] παρεῖναι τοῦ πράγματος ἤδη κεκριμένου. καὶ κεκλημένος [7] εἰς γάμους τοῦ γυναικείου γένους κατηγορεῖν. καὶ ἐκ μακρᾶς [8] ὁδοῦ ἥκοντα ἄρτι παρακαλεῖν εἰς περίπατον. δεινὸς [9] δὲ: καὶ προσάγειν ὠνητὴν πλείω διδόντα ἤδη πεπρακότι. [10] καὶ ἀκηκοότας καὶ μεμαθηκότας ἀνίστασθαι ἐξ ἀρχῆς [11] διδάσκων. καὶ πρόθυμος δὲ ἐπιμεληθῆναι, ἃ μὴ βούλεταί [12] τις γενέσθαι, αἰσχύνεται δὲ ἀπείπασθαι. καὶ θύοντας καὶ ἀναλίσκοντας ἥκειν τόκον ἀπαιτήσων. καὶ μαστιγουμένου [13] οἰκέτου παρεστὼς διηγεῖσθαι, ὅτι καὶ αὑτοῦ ποτε παῖς οὕτως [14] πληγὰς λαβὼν ἀπήγξατο. καὶ παρὼν διαίτῃ συγκρούειν, [15] ἀμφοτέρων βουλομένων διαλύεσθαι. καὶ ὀρχησόμενος ἅψασθαι ἑτέρου μηδέπω μεθύοντος.
