κατ᾽ ἀντικρὺ δὲ τῶν γυναικῶν πρῶτος ὁ Εὔκριτος,
εἶτα Ἀρισταίνετος. εἶτα ἐνεδοιάζετο πότερον χρὴ
πρότερον Ζηνόθεμιν τὸν Στωϊκὸν ἅτε γέροντα
ἢ Ἕρμωνα τὸν Ἐπικούρειον, ἱερεὺς γὰρ ἦν τοῖν ἀνάκοιν καὶ γένους τοῦ πρώτου ἐν τῇ πόλει. ἀλλὰ ὁ Ζηνόθεμις ἔλυσε τὴν ἀπορίαν: εἰ γάρ με, φησίν, ὦ
Ἀρισταίνετε, δεύτερον ἄξεις τουτουὶ τοῦ ἀνδρός, ἵνα μηδὲν ἄλλο κακὸν εἴπω, Ἐπικουρείου, ἄπειμι ὅλον σοι τὸ συμπόσιον καταλιπών καὶ ἅμα τὸν παῖδα ἐκάλει καὶ ἐξιόντι ἐῴκει. καὶ ὁ Ἕρμων,
Ἔχε μέν, ὦ Ζηνόθεμι, τὰ πρῶτα, ἔφη: ἀτὰρ
εἰ καὶ μηδέν τι ἕτερον, ἱερεῖ γε ὄντι ὑπεξίστασθαι καλῶς εἶχεν, εἰ καὶ τοῦ Ἐπικούρου πάνυ
καταπεφρόνηκας. ἐγέλασα, ἦ δ᾽ ὃς ὁ Ζηνόθεμις, Ἐπικούρειον ἱερέα, καὶ ἅμα λέγων κατεκλίνετο
καὶ μετ᾽ αὐτὸν ὅμως ὁ Ἕρμων, εἶτα Κλεόδημος ὁ Περιπατητικός, εἶτα ὁ Ἴων καὶ ὑπ᾽ ἐκεῖνον ὁ νυμφίος, εἶτ᾽ ἐγὼ καὶ παρ᾽ ἐμὲ ὁ Δίφιλος καὶ ὑπ᾽
αὐτῷ Ζήνων ὁ μαθητής, εἶτα ὁ ῥήτωρ Διονυσόδωρος καὶ ὁ γραμματικὸς Ἱστιαῖος.
