ρϥα΄.

Μοδέστῳ. (358/59)

Τὸ μὲν πρῶτον οὐκ ἦν ἡμῖν εἰδέναι, ποῦ ποτε ὢν τυγ- χάνεις, ἀλλ’ ὅτι μὲν ἐν τῇ ποταμὸν ἑκατέρωθεν ἐχούσῃ, Τί- γρητα μὲν ἐνθένδε, Εὐφράτην δὲ ἐνθένδε, τοῦτο οὐκ ἦν ἀγνο-
εἰν· ταύτης δὲ ἐκείνης ὅπου τοῦτό γε καὶ τὰς αὐτόθι πό- λεις ἐλάνθανε διὰ τὸν οὐδαμοῦ καθήμενον ἀετόν.

εὐχόμην δή σε τῆς πλάνης ἀπαλλαγέντα στῆναι μικρόν, ὅπως γένοιτο πορεύεσθαι ταῖς ἐπιστολαῖς, ὃ δὴ καὶ γέγονεν. ὡς γὰρ ἀνέ- πνευσας, ἐπέστειλάς τε καὶ πρὸς ἐπιστολὰς ἐγείρεις, καὶ οὐ φή-
σεῖς γε τὸ παρελθὸν ἔτος κατὰ τὴν παροιμίαν εἰς γράμματα γενέσθαι βέλτιον τοῦ νῦν.

ὃν δὲ ἔπεμψας ἐπὶ ἰατρικὴν νέον διδασκάλῳ Θάλλω χρησόμενον, οὔπω ἔσχον ἰδεῖν. ἢ γὰρ οὐχ ἧκεν ἢ οὐδὲν ἡμῶν οἴεται δεῖσθαι.
