κλίθητι καὶ πίωμεν: οὐ καὶ σιτίαἦ γὰρ οὐ τούτοις ἔοικε τὰ Μητροδώρου πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν γράφοντος; οὐδὲν δεῖ σῴζειν τοὺς; Ἕλληνας οὐδ᾽ ἐπὶ σοφίᾳ στεφάνων παρ᾽ αὐτῶν τυγχάνειν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐσθίειν καὶ πίνειν οἶνον, ὦ Τιμόκρατες, [p. 396] ἀβλαβῶς’’
πάρεστιν, ὦ δύστηνε; μὴ σαυτῷ φθόνει.
οἱ δ᾽ εὐθὺς ἠλάλαξαν, ἐν δ᾽ ἐκίρνατο
οἶνος: φέρων δὲ στέφανον ἀμφέθηκέ τις:
ὑμνεῖτο δ᾽ αἰσχρῶς, κλῶνα πρὸς καλὸν δάφνης,
ὁ Φοῖβος οὐ προσῳδά τὴν τ᾽ ἐν αὐλίῳ
νόθον τις ἐξέκλαξε σύγκοιτον φίλην.
