αὐθαδείας ΙΕ᾽

ἡ δὲ αὐθάδειά ἐστιν ἀπήνεια ὁμιλίας ἐν λόγοις, ὁ δὲ [2] αὐθάδης τοιοῦτός τις, οἷος ἐρωτηθείς: 'ὁ δεῖνα ποῦ ἐστιν;᾽ [3] εἰπεῖν: 'πράγματά μοι μὴ πάρεχε᾽: καὶ προσαγορευθεὶς [4] μὴ ἀντιπροσειπεῖν. καὶ πωλῶν τι μὴ λέγειν τοῖς ὠνουμένοις, [5] πόσου ἂν ἀποδοῖτο, ἀλλ᾽ ἐρωτᾶν, τί εὑρίσκει. καὶ τοῖς τιμῶσι καὶ πέμπουσιν εἰς τὰς ἑορτὰς εἰπεῖν, ὅτι οὐκ [6] ἂν γένοιτο διδόμενα: καὶ οὐκ ἔχειν συγγνώμην οὔτε τῷ ἀπώσαντι αὐτὸν ἀκουσίως [οὔτε τῷ ὤσαντι] οὔτε τῷ ἐμβάντι. [7] καὶ φίλῳ δὲ ἔρανον κελεύσαντι εἰσενεγκεῖν εἰπών, ὅτι οὐκ ἂν δοίη, ὕστερον ἥκειν φέρων καὶ λέγειν, ὅτι ἀπόλλυσι καὶ [8] τοῦτο τὸ ἀργύριον. καὶ προσπταίσας ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ δεινὸς [9] καταράσασθαι τῷ λίθῳ: καὶ [ἀναμεῖναι] οὐκ ἂν ὑπομεῖναι [10] πολὺν χρόνον οὐθένα. καὶ οὔτε ᾆσαι οὔτε ῥῆσιν εἰπεῖν [11] οὔτε ὀρχήσασθαι ἂν ἠθέλησε. δεινὸς δὲ καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς μὴ ἐπεύχεσθαι.
