ὡς δ᾽ ἤκουσα, τοῦτον μὲν ἀνοσιώτατον ἡγησάμην εἶναι τῷ ἐπιχειρήματι, ἐσκοπούμην δὲ ὅπως αὐτός τε ἀπολυθήσομαι τῆς ἐγγύης τῆς ἐπὶ τὴν τράπεζαν, καὶ ὁ ξένος μὴ ἀπολεῖ ἃ δι᾽ ἐμοῦ τούτῳ ἐδάνεισεν. καταστήσας δὲ φύλακας τῆς νεὼς διηγησάμην τοῖς ἐγγυηταῖς τῆς τραπέζης τὴν πρᾶξιν, καὶ παρέδωκα τὸ ἐνέχυρον, εἰπὼν αὐτοῖς ὅτι δέκα μναῖ ἐνείησαν τῷ ξένῳ ἐν τῇ νηί. ταῦτα δὲ πράξας κατηγγύησα τοὺς παῖδας, ἵν᾽ εἴ τις ἔνδεια γίγνοιτο, τὰ ἐλλείποντα ἐκ τῶν παίδων εἴη.
