[129] εἰ δή τις ἔτ’ ἐν θνητῷ καὶ πολυμιγεῖ καὶ πολυμόρφῳ βίῳ διατρίβων καὶ κεχρημένος ἀφθόνοις ταῖς πρὸς περιουσίαν ὕλαις σκέπτεται καὶ ζητεῖ περὶ τῆς ἀμείνονος καὶ πρὸς τὸ καλὸν μόνον ἀφορώσης γενεᾶς,
ἄξιος ἀποδοχῆς ἐστιν, ἂν μὴ πάλιν τὰ ὀνείρατα καὶ φαντάσματα τῶν νομιζομένων καὶ φαινομένων ἀγαθῶν ὑπαναπλεύσαντα παρευημερήσῃ.

[129] But if any one, passing his days in a mortal, and promiscuous, and variously formed life, and having abundant resources of wealth and riches, considers and inquires concerning that better generation which looks only to what is good, he is worthy of being received, if the dreams and visions of those things, which are fancied to be and which appear to be good, do not again overwhelm him and immerse him in luxury.
