[3] ΕΥΑΓΡΙΩΙ
Ἥσθην ἐπαινούμενος. Τὸ γὰρ τὸν υἱὸν ἡμῶν Εὐάγριον εὐδοκιμεῖν, ἡμᾶς ἐστιν εὐδοκιμεῖν: τέκνων γὰρ ἀρετὴ δόξα πατέρων. Ἡμεῖς δέ, εἰς λόγους μέν, οὐδὲν ἢ μικρὸν ἴσως σύνισμεν ἡμῖν αὐτοῖς ὠφελήσασι τὸν σὸν υἱόν, οὐδὲ γὰρ μέγα ἡμῖν τὸ τῶν λόγων: ἓν δὲ ἀντὶ πάντων αὐτῷ καὶ μέγιστον συνεισηνέγκαμεν, οὐκ ἀρνήσομαι, τὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ φόβον καὶ τὸ πεῖσαι τῶν παρόντων καταφρονεῖν. Ἐκείνῳ μὲν οὖν τὰ κάλλιστα συνηυξάμεθά τε καὶ συνευχόμεθα, ἵν' ἃς ἔλαβε παρ' ἡμῶν ἀρχὰς τελέως καρποφορήσῃ καί τινα τῆς σπουδῆς καρπὸν ἐνεγκώμεθα. Τῇ δὲ σῇ τιμιότητι πᾶσα χάρις, ὅτι καὶ μεμνῆσθαι ἡμῶν ἀξιοῖς καὶ τοῖς ὑπομνήμασι τιμᾶν τῆς φιλίας: ἅπερ οὐ μικρὰ ὄντα μειζόνως ὑπεδεξάμεθα.
