[240] ΜΕΛΕΤΙΩΙ
Οὔτε ἐδεξάμην σου γράμματα πώποτε, τοσοῦτος ἐξ οὗ χρόνος ἤδη, πῶς οἴει ποθῶν: οὔτε ἐπέσταλκα, πείθομαι δὲ ὅτι καὶ αὐτῷ ποθοῦντι. Ὢ τῆς ἀργίας, ἵνα μὴ λέγω τῆς ἀναλγησίας: μικρὸν καὶ ὁ Ἀργανθώνιος ἡμῖν εἰς ὕπνου λόγον, οὕτως ἐκαθευδήσαμεν. Ποῦ μὲν ὁ θίασος ἡμῖν ἐκεῖνος; Ποῦ δὲ οἱ κοινοὶ λόγοι καὶ σύλλογοι καὶ ἡ γλυκεῖα πηγὴ καὶ ἄφθονος, ἀφ' ἧς ἠρυόμεθα; Ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν καὶ διανίσταμαι καὶ τὴν κόνιν ἀποσείομαι, κατὰ τοὺς Ἀχιλλέως ἵππους, ὀψὲ γοῦν (ὀκνῶ γὰρ εἰπεῖν), καὶ τὴν χαιτὴν ἀνασείομαι. Μή με κωμῳδεῖν ὑπολάβῃς. Σοὶ δὲ εἴ τι μέλει τῆς ἡμετέρας φιλίας, ἐξ ὧν ἐπιστέλλεις δηλωθήσεται.
