ἐκράτησε δὲ πότερος, ὦ Λυκῖνε, ὁ διδασκαλος
ἢ ὁ Εὐθύδημος; εἴ τι καὶ τοιοῦτον ἔλεγεν ὁ Μίδας.
Λυκῖνος
τὰ μὲν πρῶτά φασιν, ὦ Ἑρμότιμε, ἀγχώμαλα
[p. 342]
σφίσι γενέσθαι, τὸ δ᾽ οὖν τέλος τῆς νίκης καθ᾽
ὑμᾶς ἐγένετο καὶ παρὰ πολὺ ὁ πρεσβύτης ὑπερέσχε: τὸν
γοῦν Εὐθύδημον οὐδ᾽ ἀναιμωτί φασιν ἀπελθεῖν, ἀλλὰ
τραῦμα παμμέγεθες ἔχοντα ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ: ἐπεὶ γὰρ ἀλαζὼν
ἦν καὶ ἐλεγκτικὸς καὶ πείθεσθαι οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ
παρεῖχε ῥᾴδιον αὑτὸν ἐλέγχεσθαι, ὁ διδάσκαλός σου ὁ
βέλτιστος ὃν εἶχε σκύφον Νεστόρειόν τινα καταφέρει αὐτοῦ
πλησίον κατακειμένου, καὶ οὕτως ἐκράτησεν.
Ἑρμότιμος
εὖ γε: οὐ γὰρ ἄλλως ἐχρῆν πρὸς τοὺς μὴ
ἐθέλοντας εἴκειν τοῖς κρείττοσιν.
Λυκῖνος
ταυτὶ μέν, ὦ Ἑρμότιμε, πάνυ εὔλογα. ἢ τί
γὰρ παθὼν Εὐθύδημος ἄνδρα γέροντα παρώξυνεν, ἀόργητον
καὶ θυμοῦ κρείττονα, σκύφον οὕτω βαρὺν ἐν τῇ
χειρὶ ἔχοντα;
