Ἀριστόξενος Πολυξένῃ Ἑταιρικῶν ἡδονῶν οὐδὲν ἀσθενέστερον. ἄπιστα τὰ τῶν σῶν χειλέων φιλήματα· ἀφύτευτος γὰρ πόθος θᾶττον μαραίνεται. ἐγὼ τὴν σωφρο- σύνην λοιπὸν ἀνήδονον οὖσαν παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς μᾶλλον προσδέξομαι– τὸ γὰρ σταθερὸν ἐπαγγέλλεται– καὶ προικίων τὸν γάμον ὠνήσομαι· πρία- σθαι γὰρ πίστιν ἑταιρικὴν χαλεπώτατον.
