Ος ἐτέον γ', ὦ Εραστὲ, πέλεις ἒραστος καὶ ἀγεστὸς
ἀνδράσιν οὐκ ἀκρίτοις οὖσιν, ἀτὰρ πινυτοῖς.
πολλὰ γὰρ εἰς ὄφελοσ κοινοῦ βιότου πρίν ἔγραψας,
vῦν δὲ καὶ ἀλλα γράφεις εὖ καὶ ἐπισταμένως.
τίς γὰρ σοί γ' ἀνέρων ἐρίσειεν ἂν ἄλλοσ ἁπάντων
ἢ φυῇ, ἢ σοφίῃ, ἠὲ διδασκαλίῃ;
μάντιες οὖν κενεοὶ, καὶ ἀπαίδευτος Παράκελσος,
καὶ πλέονες κεῖνται ψευδολόγοι διὰ σοῦ.
σὺ δ' ἐτεόν γ', ὦ Ἐραστὲ, πέλεις ἐρατὸς καὶ ἀρεστὸς
ἀνδράσιν οὐκ ἀκρίτοισ οὖσιν, ἀτὰρ πινυτοῖς.
