τὸ δ᾽ ὅλον ἐκείνου μοι μέμνησο — πολλάκις
γὰρ τοῦτο ἐρῶ — καὶ μὴ πρὸς τὸ παρὸν μόνον ὁρῶν
γράφε, ὡς οἱ νῦν ἐπαινέσονταί σε καὶ τιμήσουσιν, ἀλλὰ
τοῦ σύμπαντος αἰῶνος ἐστοχασμένος πρὸς τοὺς ἔπειτα
μᾶλλον σύγγραφε καὶ παρ᾽ ἐκείνων ἀπαίτει τὸν μισθὸν
[68]
τῆς γραφῆς, ὡς λέγηται καὶ περὶ σοῦ: ‘ἐκεῖνος μέντοι
ἐλεύθερος ἀνὴρ ἦν καὶ παρρησίας μεστός, οὐδὲν οὔτε
κολακευτικὸν οὔτε δουλοπρεπές, ἀλλ᾽ ἀλήθεια ἐπὶ πᾶσι.’
τοῦτ᾽, εἰ σωφρονοίη τις, ὑπὲρ πάσας τὰς νῦν ἐλπίδας
θεῖτο ἄν, οὕτως ὀλιγοχρονίους οὔσας.
