Πρισκιανῷ. (361)
Οἶσθά που Μαιόνιον τὸν βιβλιογράφον. καὶ ὅτι μοι
βιβλιογράφων ἀμελεῖν οὐκ ἔνι, καὶ τοῦτο οἶσθα. τὸν δὴ φέ-
ροντα τὴν ἐπιστολὴν ἐγὼ μὲν οὐ γινώσκω, Μαιόνιος δὲ ποι-
εἷται περὶ πολλοῦ.
πονηρὸς δέ τις βλάψας ἄνθρωπος ἀπο-
δρὰς ᾤχετο, καὶ νῦν οὗτος ἀφῖκται τῶν δικαίων ἀξιῶν τυ-
χεῖν.
ὡς οὖν ἐν τῇ πρὸς τοῦτον σπουδῇ βοηθήσων τῷ
κάλλει τῶν βιβλίων δεῖξον ὀργὴν ἐπὶ τὸν ἠδικηκότα.
