Γερμανῷ. (360)
Ἐγώ σε οὔπω μὲν εἶδον, ἰδεῖν δὲ ἐπιθυμῶ, φιλῶ δὲ καὶ πρὶν ἰδεῖν· οὕτω πολλὰ καὶ καλὰ παρ’ ἀνδρῶν καλῶν τε καὶ ἀγαθῶν ἀγγέλλεται περὶ σοῦ. φιλοῦντα δὲ μὴ καὶ θαρρεῖν χά-
ριν αἰτεῖν ἕν τι τῶν ἀτόπων ἡγούμην.
ριν αἰτεῖν ἕν τι τῶν ἀτόπων ἡγούμην.
ἀλλ’ ἐν σοί γέ ἐστι πολ- Λὰ τῆς ταλαιπωρίας ἀφελεῖν. ὃ ποιήσας, ὅ τι δυναίμην ἂν
ὑπουργεῖν, ἐπίταττε. καλὸν δὲ οἶμαι τῆς τῶν γραμμάτων ἀρ- χῆς παρ’ ἐμοῦ γεγενημένης τὴν τῶν ἔργων γενέσθαι παρὰ σοῦ. οὕτω γὰρ ἂν εἰς ἴσον κατασταίημεν ἀλλήλοις, μᾶλλον δέ, καὶ οὕτω σὸν τὸ νικᾶν, εἴπερ ἀμείνω τῶν λόγων τὰ ἔργα.
