[42] τίς οὖν ἐστιν ἡ ἐκ φιλήματος ἀλλὰ μὴ ἐξ ἀψευδοῦς φιλίας ἡμῖν συσταθεῖσα, φράσω μηδὲν ὑποστειλάμενος· ἡ ζωὴ ἡ σὺν αἰσθήσει, ἡ πᾶσιν ὠχυρωμένη, p. 479 M. ἧς ἀνέραστος οὐδείς, ἣν δέσποιναν μὲν οἱ πολλοί, θεράπαιναν δὲ οἱ ἀστεῖοι
¹ νομίζουσιν, οὐκ ἀλλόφυλον ἢ ἀργυρώνητον, ἀλλ’ οἰκογενῆ καὶ τρόπον τινὰ ὁμόφυλον. οὗτοι καὶ πεπαίδευνται καταφιλεῖν αὐτήν, οὐ φιλεῖν, ἐκεῖνοι δὲ ὑπερφυῶς ἀγαπᾶν καὶ τριπόθητον ἡγεῖσθαι.

[42] But what that salutation is which consists of a kiss, but not of sincere friendship for us, I will explain without any reservation or concealment. It is, forsooth, that life which exists in union with the external senses, which is called Meshech, being completely secured and defended, which there is no one who does not love, which men in general look upon as their mistress, but which virtuous men consider their handmaid, not a foreign slave or one bought with a price, but born in the house, and in some sense, a fellow citizen with themselves. Well, one class of these men have learnt to kiss this, not to love it; but the other class have learnt to love it to excess, and to think it an object of desire above all things.
