τὸ ποῖον;
Λυκῖνος
ἐπάξει δηλαδὴ ὁ ἀνὴρ καὶ φήσει πρός με ὧδέ
πως: ἀνάλογον τοίνυν κείσθω τις ἡμῖν, ὦ Λυκῖνε, τὰ
Στωϊκῶν μόνα εἰδώς, καθάπερ ὁ σὸς φίλος οὗτος ὁ Ἑρμότιμος,
ἀποδημήσας δὲ μηδεπώποτε μήτε ἐς Πλάτωνος
μήτε παρὰ τὸν Ἐπίκουρον μήτε ὅλως παρ᾽ ἄλλον τινά.
εἰ τοίνυν λέγοι μηδὲν οὕτω καλὸν εἶναι μηδ᾽ ἀληθὲς παρὰ
τοῖς πολλοῖς, οἷα τὰ τῆς Στοᾶς ἐστι καὶ ἃ ἐκείνη φησίν,
οὐκ ἂν εὐλόγως θρασὺς εἶναι δόξειεν ἄν σοι περὶ πάντων
ἀποφαινόμενος, καὶ ταῦτα ἓν εἰδώς, οὐδεπώποτε ἐξ
Αἰθιοπίας τὸν ἕτερον πόδα προελθών; τί βούλει ἀποκρίνωμαι αὐτῷ;
Ἑρμότιμος
τὸ ἀληθέστατον ἐκεῖνο δηλαδή, ὅτι ἡμεῖς τὰ
μὲν Στωϊκῶν καὶ πάνυ ἐκμανθάνομεν ὡς ἂν κατὰ ταῦτα
φιλοσοφεῖν ἀξιοῦντες, οὐκ ἀγνοοῦμεν δὲ καὶ τὰ ὑπὸ τῶν
ἄλλων λεγόμενα: ὁ γὰρ διδάσκαλος κἀκεῖνα μεταξὺ καὶ
διέξεισι πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀνατρέπει γε αὐτὰ προσθεὶς αὐτός.
Λυκῖνος
