Ἀρισταινέτῳ. (356/57)

Ἐξέμηνε τὴν πόλιν ἡμῖν εἰς σοφίας ἔρωτα Θεμίστιος
σιγῶν μὲν οὐδαμοῦ, πανταχοῦ δὲ λέγων, καὶ λέγων οἷα τοῦτον ἦν εἰκὸς λέγειν, ὥστ’ εἰ μὴ τάχιστα ἀπῆρε, κἂν μετέστησε τὴν βουλὴν ἀπὸ τούτων ἐν οἷς νῦν ἐστιν ἐπὶ τὸν αὑτοῦ βίον.

ἐμὲ δὲ ἀναμνήσας τῶν παλαιῶν ἐκείνων πραγμάτων εἰς δάκρυα κατέστησεν, ὃ ἐγὼ τὴν πατρίδα ποθῶν ἴτ’ ὢν παρ’ ὑμῖν οὐδε-
πώποτε οἶδα παθών. ἔχει δέ μοι καὶ τὸ σῶμα οὕτως ὥστε ἐλεοῦμαι μὲν ὑπὸ τῶν ἄλλων, ζημία δέ μοι τὸ μὴ τεθνάναι. καὶ πολλὰ μὲν ᾄδεται τῶν νοσημάτων αἴτια, δεῖ δὲ φέ- ρειν ἀφέντα ζητεῖν, ὅθεν ἐστίν. οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐζητοῦμέν τι ῥᾷστον εἴρειν.

σὺ δὲ οὐ γράψας προσέθηκας τοῖς κακοῖς. ²³⁴⁵ εἰ δὲ τοῦτο λέγοις, ὡς ἀντὶ γραμμάτων ἥκει Θεμίστιος, ἀκούσῃ· τί δ’ ἂν ἦν μᾶλλον πρέπον γράμμασι Θε μιστίου;
