Ἀμπελίς
ὅστις δέ, ὦ Χρυσί, μήτε ζηλοτυπεῖ μήτε
ὀργίζεται μήτε ἐρράπισέ ποτε ἢ περιέκειρεν ἢ τὰ ἱμάτια
περιέσχισεν, ἔτι ἐραστὴς ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν;
Χρυσίς
οὐκοῦν ταῦτα μόνα ἐρῶντος, ὦ Ἀμπελί, δείγματα;
Ἀμπελίς
ναί, τοῦτ᾽ ἀνδρὸς θερμοῦ: ἐπεὶ τἆλλα, φιλήματα
καὶ δάκρυα καὶ ὅρκοι καὶ τὸ πολλάκις ἥκειν ἀρχομένου
ἔρωτος σημεῖον καὶ φυομένου ἔτι: τὸ δὲ πῦρ
ὅλον ἐκ τῆς ζηλοτυπίας ἐστίν. ὥστε εἰ καὶ σέ, ὡς φής, ὁ
Γοργίας ῥαπίζει καὶ ζηλοτυπεῖ, χρηστὰ ἔλπιζε καὶ εὔχου ἀεὶ τὰ αὐτὰ ποιεῖν.
Χρυσίς
τὰ αὐτά; τί λέγεις; ἀεὶ ῥαπίζειν με;
Ἀμπελίς
οὐχί, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνιᾶσθαι, εἰ μὴ πρὸς μόνον αὐτὸν
[p. 251]
βλέποις. ἐπεὶ εἰ μὴ ἐρᾷ γε, τί ἂν ἔτι ὀργίζοιτο, εἰ σύ
τινα ἕτερον ἐραστὴν ἔχεις;
Χρυσίς
ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ ἔχω ἔγωγε: ὁ δὲ μάτην ὑπέλαβε
τὸν πλούσιόν μου ἐρᾶν, διότι ἄλλως ἐμνημόνευσά ποτε αὐτοῦ.
