“ζ[ῶ]ν οὗτος ἐπιεικῶς χρόνον πολὺν λελάληκεν ἡδέως ἐν τῷ βίῳ οὐδενί, προσηγόρευκε πρότερος δ᾿ οὐδένα πλὴν ἐξ ἀνάγκης, γειτνιῶν παριών τ᾿, ἐμὲ τὸν Πᾶνα· καὶ τοῦτ᾿ εὐθὺς αὐτῷ μεταμέλει, εὖ οἶδ᾿.”
“εὖ τοῦτ᾿ ἴσθ᾿, ὅτι πρὸς πάντα πράγματ᾿ ἐστὶ πρακτικώτερον εὐκαιρία.”
“τῶν δ᾿ ἀναγκαίων λέγειν πλείον᾿ οὐκ ἀνδρὸς νομίζω, πλὴν ἐκεῖνό γ᾿ ἴσθι, παῖ· ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ γὰρ βούλομ᾿ εἰπεῖν ὀλίγα σοι καὶ τοῦ τρόπου. εἰ τοιοῦτοι πάντες ἦσαν, οὔτε τὰ δικαστήρια ἦν ἄν, οὔθ᾿ αὑτοὺς ἀπῆγον εἰς τὰ δεσμωτήρια, οὔτε πόλεμος ἦν, ἔχων δ᾿ ἂν μέτρι᾿ ἕκαστος ἠγάπα. ἀλλ᾿ ἴσως ταῦτ᾿ ἔστ᾿ ἀρεστὰ μᾶλλον οὕτω· πράττετε. ἐκποδῶν ὑμῖν ⟨ὁ⟩ χαλεπὸς δύσκολός τ᾿ ἔσται γέρων.”
“τρυφερὸς ὢν δίκελλαν ἔλαβες, ἔσκαψας, πονε[ῖν ἠθέλησας. ἐν δὲ τούτῳ τῷ μέρει μάλιστ᾿ ἀνὴρ δείκνυτ᾿, ἐξισοῦν ἑαυτὸν ὅστις ὑπομένει τινὶ εὐπορῶν πένητι· καὶ γὰρ μεταβολὴν οὗτος τύχ[ης ἐγκρατῶς οἴσει. δέδωκας πεῖραν ἱκανὴν τοῦ τρόπ[ου· διαμένοις μόνον τοιοῦτος.”
“ὃν οἱ θεοὶ φιλοῦσιν ἀποθνῄσκει νέος.”
“ἀπὸ μηχανῆς θεὸς ἐπεφάνης.”
