λέγων. ἂν δέ τι σπουδῆς ἄξιον ἢ τοὺς φίλους ἢ καὶ τὴν πόλιν ὅλην καταλαμβάνῃ, εἰς σὲ πάντες ἀποβλέψονται: κἄν πού τι λέγων τύχῃς,
κεχηνότες οἱ πολλοὶ ἀκούσονται, θαυμάζοντες
καὶ εὐδαιμονίζοντές σε τῆς δυνάμεως τῶν λόγων καὶ τὸν πατέρα τῆς εὐποτμίας.^: ὃ δὲ λέγουσιν, ὡς
ἄρα καὶ ἀθάνατοι γίγνονταί τινες ἐξ ἀνθρώπων,
[p. 226]
τοῦτό σοι περιποιήσω: καὶ γὰρ ἢν αὐτὸς ἐκ τοῦ βίου ἀπέλθῃς, οὔποτε παύσῃ συνὼν τοῖς πεπαιδευμένοις καὶ προσομιλῶν τοῖς ἀρίστοις. ὁρᾷς τὸν Δημοσθένην ἐκεῖνον, τίνος υἱὸν ὄντα ἐγὼ ἡλίκον ἐποίησα. ὁρᾷς τὸν Αἰσχίνην, ὡς τυμπανιστρίας υἱὸς ἦν, ἀλλ᾽ ὅμως: αὐτὸν δι᾽ ἐμὲ Φίλιππος ἐθεράπευεν. ὁ δὲ Σωκράτης καὶ αὐτὸς ὑπὸ τῇ Ἑρμογλυφικῇ ταύτῃ τραφείς, ἐπειδὴ τάχιστα συνῆκεν τοῦ κρείττονος καὶ δραπετεύσας παρ᾽ αὐτῆς ηὐτομόλησεν ὡς ἐμέ, ἀκούεις ὡς παρὰ πάντων ᾁδεται.
