Καὶ εὔχετο δὲ πρὸς τοὺς θεοὺς ἁπλῶς τἀγαθὰ διδόναι, ὡς τοὺς θεοὺς κάλλιστα εἰδότας, ὁποῖα ἀγαθά ἐστι· τοὺς δ ̓ εὐχομένους χρυσίον ἢ ἀργύριον ἢ τυραννίδα ἢ ἄλλο τι τῶν τοιούτων οὐδὲν διάφορον ἐνόμιζεν εὔχεσθαι, ἢ εἰ κυβείαν ἢ μάχην ἢ ἄλλο τι εὔχοιντο τῶν φανερῶς ἀδήλων ὅπως ἀποβήσοιτο. Θυσίας δὲ θύων μικρὰς ἀπὸ μικρῶν οὐδὲν ἡγεῖτο μειοῦσθαι τῶν ἀπὸ πολλῶν καὶ μεγάλων πολλὰ καὶ μεγάλα θυόντων· οὔτε γὰρ τοῖς θεοῖς ἔφη καλῶς ἔχειν, εἰ ταῖς μεγάλαις θυσίαις μᾶλλον ἢ ταῖς μικραῖς ἔχαιρον· (πολλάκις γὰρ ἂν αὐτοῖς τὰ παρὰ τῶν πονηρῶν μᾶλλον ἢ τὰ παρὰ τῶν χρηστῶν εἶναι κεχαρισμένα·) οὔτ ̓ ἂν τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἄξιον εἶναι ζῆν, εἰ τὰ παρὰ τῶν πονηρῶν μᾶλλον ἦν κεχαρισμένα τοῖς θεοῖς ἢ τὰ παρὰ τῶν χρηστῶν.

II. THE GOSPEL OF MARK.

Ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰωάννησ· διδάσκαλε, εἴδομέν τινα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα δαιμόνια, ὃσ οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ ἡμῖν, καὶ ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦσ εἶπεν· μὴ κωλύετε αὐτόν· οὐδεὶσ γάρ ἐστιν ὃσ ποιήσει δύναμιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου καὶ δυνήσεται ταχὺ κακολογῆσαί με· ὃσ γὰρ οὐκ ἔστιν καθ ̓ ἡμῶν, ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐστίν. ὃσ γὰρ ἂν ποτίσῃ ὑμᾶς ποτήριον ὕδατος ἐν ὀνόματί μου, ὅτι Χριστοῦ ἐστέ, ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι

οὐ μὴ ἀπολέσῃ τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ὃσ ἂν σκανδαλίσῃ ἕνα τῶν μικρῶν τούτων τῶν πιστευόντων, καλόν ἐστιν αὐτῷ μᾶλλον εἰ περίκειται μύλος ὀνικὸς περὶ τὸν τράχηλον αὐτοῦ καὶ βέβληται εἰσ τὴν θάλασσαν.

* Κλύθι, Ποσείδαον γαιήοχε, κυανοχαῖτα· εἰ ἐτεόν γε σός εἰμι, πατὴρ δ' ἐμὸς εὔχεαι εἶναι, δὸς μὴ Ὀδυσσήα πτολιπόρθιον οἴκαδ ̓ ἱκέσθαι [υἱὸν Λαέρτεω, Ἰθάκῃ ἔνι οἰκί ἔχοντα]. ἀλλ ̓ εἴ οἱ μοῖρ ̓ ἐστὶ φίλους τ' ἰδέειν καὶ ἱκέσθαι οἶκον ἐϋκτίμενον καὶ ἑὴν ἐς πατρίδα γαῖαν, ὀψὲ κακῶς ἔλθοι, ὀλέσας ἄπο πάντας ἑταίρους, νηὸς ἐπ ̓ ἀλλοτρίης, εὕροι δ ̓ ἐν πήματα οἴκῳ.” Ὣς ἔφατ ̓ εὐχόμενος, τοῦ δ ̓ ἔκλυε κυανοχαίτης αὐτὰρ ὅγ ̓ ἐξαῦτις πολὺ μείζονα λᾶαν ἀείρας ἧκ ̓ ἐπιδινήσας, ἐπέρεισε δὲ ἶν ̓ ἀπέλεθρον, κὰδ δ ̓ ἔβαλεν μετόπισθε νεὸς κυανοπρώροιο τυτθὸν, ἐδεύησεν δ' οἰήιον ἄκρον ἱκέσθαι. ἐκλύσθη δὲ θάλασσα κατερχομένης ὑπὸ πέτρης τὴν δὲ πρόσω φέρε κῦμα, θέμωσε δὲ χέρσον ἱκέσθαι.
