”
ἄγε δὴ Δρόμων νῦν, εἴ τι κομψὸν ἢ σοφὸν
ἢ γλαφυρὸν οἶσθα τῶν σεαυτοῦ πραγμάτων,
φανερὸν ποίησον τοῦτο τῷ διδασκάλῳ.
νῦν τὴν ἀπόδειξιν τῆς τέχνης αἰτῶ σ᾽ ἐγώ.
εἰς πολεμίαν ἄγω σε: θαρρῶν κατάτρεχε:
ἀριθμῷ διδόασι τὰ κρέα καὶ τηροῦσί σε.
τακερὰ ποιήσας ταῦτα καὶ ζέσας σφόδρα
τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν, ὡς λέγω σοι, σύγχεον.
ἰχθὺς ἁδρὸς πάρεστι: τἀντός ἐστι σά.
κἂν τέμαχος ἐκκλίνῃς τι, καὶ τοῦτ᾽ ἐστὶ σὸν
ἕως ἂν ἔνδον ὦμεν: ὅταν ἔξω δ᾽, ἐμόν.
ἐξαιρέσεις καὶ τἄλλα τἀκόλουθ᾽ ὅσα
οὔτ᾽ ἀριθμὸν οὔτε ἔλεγχον ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν ἔχει,
περικόμματος δὲ τάξιν ἢ θέσιν φέρει, [p. 226]
εἰς αὔριον σὲ κἀμὲ ταῦτ᾽ εὐφρανάτω
λαφυροπώλῃ παντάπασι μεταδίδου,
τὴν πάροδον ἵν᾽ ἔχῃς τῶν θυρῶν εὐνουστέραν
τί δεῖ λέγειν με πολλὰ πρὸς συνειδότα;
ἐμὸς εἶ μαθητής, σὸς δ᾽ ἐγὼ διδάσκαλος,
μέμνησο τῶνδε καὶ βάδιζε δεῦρ᾽ ἅμα.
