Ὁ πλοῦτος οὐ τῶν ἀγαθῶν, ἡ πολυτέλεια τῶν κακῶν, ἡ σωφροσύνη τῶν ἀγαθῶν. καλεῖ δὲ ἡ μὲν σωφροσύνη ἐπὶ τὴν εὐτέλειαν καὶ τὴν κτῆσιν τῶν ἀγαθῶν, ὁ δὲ πλοῦτος ἐπὶ τὴν πολυτέλειαν καὶ ἀφέλκει τῆς σωφροσύνης. δυσχερὲς ἄρα πλουτοῦντα σωφρονεῖν ἢ σωφρονοῦντα πλουτεῖν.Gnomology (Books 3-4). Epictetus. ed. Heinrich Schenkl. Leipzig. 1916.
