[118] εὐχέρειαν δ’ οὐδείς μου καταγνώσεται μὴ φιλαυτίᾳ χρωμένου, πάθει δυσιάτῳ· αἵ τε γὰρ μεγάλαι τῶν φύσεων χρόνοις οὐ δοκιμάζονται μακροῖς, ὄγκῳ δυνάμεως βιαζόμεναι φθάνειν εἰς ἀποδοχὴν αὑτῶν ἀνυπέρθετον, τά τε πράγματα μέλλησιν καὶ διατριβὴν οὐκ ἀνέχεται,
τῶν καιρῶν ἐπειγόντων εἰς τὰς ἀναγκαίας παρασκευάς.“
