[10]
（οὐ γὰρ ἡ αὐτὴ πρέπει ἐσθής）, καὶ ἐάν τε κοσμεῖν
βούλῃ, ἀπὸ τῶν βελτίστων τῶν ἐν ταὐτῷ γένει φέρειν τὴν μεταφοράν, ἐάν τε ψέγειν, ἀπὸ τῶν χειρόνων: λέγω δ᾽ οἷον, ἐπεὶ τὰ ἐναντία ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ γένει, τὸ φάναι τὸν μὲν πτωχεύοντα εὔχεσθαι τὸν δὲ εὐχόμενον πτωχεύειν, ὅτι ἄμφω αἰτήσεις, τὸ εἰρημένον ἐστὶ ποιεῖν, ὡς καὶ Ἰφικράτης Καλλίαν
μητραγύρτην ἀλλ᾽ οὐ δᾳδοῦχον, ὁ δὲ ἔφη ἀμύητον αὐτὸν εἶναι: οὐ γὰρ ἂν μητραγύρτην αὐτὸν καλεῖν, ἀλλὰ δᾳδοῦχον: ἄμφω γὰρ περὶ θεόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν τίμιον τὸ δὲ ἄτιμον. καὶ ὁ μὲν διονυσοκόλακας, αὐτοὶ δ᾽ αὑτοὺς τεχνίτας καλοῦσιν （ταῦτα δ᾽ ἄμφω μεταφορά, ἡ μὲν ῥυπαινόντων ἡ δὲ
τοὐναντίον）, καὶ οἱ μὲν λῃσταὶ αὑτοὺς ποριστὰς καλοῦσι νῦν （διὸ ἔξεστι λέγειν τὸν ἀδικήσαντα μὲν ἁμαρτάνειν, τὸν δ᾽ ἁμαρτάνοντα ἀδικῆσαι, καὶ τὸν κλέψαντα καὶ λαβεῖν καὶ πορίσασθαι）. τὸ δὲ ὡς ὁ Τήλεφος Εὐριπίδου φησίν, “κώπης ἀνάσσων κἀποβὰς εἰς Μυσίαν,
”
ἀπρεπές, ὅτι μεῖζον τὸ ἀνάσσειν ἢ κατ᾽ ἀξίαν: οὐ κέκλεπται οὖν.
