σοί· βουλόμενος δέ σε τὴν χάριν, ἣν μέλλεις ἐκείνῳ δώσειν,
δοῦναι ταύτην ἀμφοτέροις, ἐμοί τε κἀκείνῳ, γράμματα λαβὼν
ἧκεν ἐμά.
δῆλος οὖν ἐστι πάντα τρόπον τῇ σῇ συναγωνι-
ούμενος δόξῃ δι’ ὧν δύ’ ἀνθ’ ἑνὸς ὑπευθύνους σοι καθίστησι
χάριτος. ὅταν οὖν τοῦτον ἀμείψῃ πολλοῖς τε καὶ μεγάλοις,
δίδασκέ με τὰς εὐεργεσίας γράφων, ἕν’ οὗτος μὲν ἔργῳ κερ-
δαίνῃ, τὸ δὲ ἥδεσθαι κοινὸν Εὐτροπίου τε ᾖ καὶ ἐμοῦ.
