Besedilo
Brodolomec in morje
A shipwrecked man, washed ashore on a beach, fell asleep from exhaustion. After a little while he rose, looked out at the sea, and reproached it for luring people with its dazzling beauty, only to turn savage and destroy them once it had taken them into its embrace. The sea took the form of a woman and said to him, “My good man, do not blame me, but the winds. By nature I am as tranquil as the land; it is they who swoop down without warning, stirring up my waves and making me rage.” So too, when wrong is done, we should not blame those who carry it out under another’s command, but those who direct them.

Ναυαγὸς ἐκβρασθεὶς εἴς τινα αἰγιαλὸν διὰ τὸν κόπον ἐκοιμᾶτο μετὰ δὲ μικρὸν ἐξαναστὰς, ὡς ἐθεάσατο πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν, ἐμέμφετο αὐτὴν, ὅτι δελεάζουσα τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῇ τῆς ὄψεως λαμπρότητι, ἡνίκα ἂν αὐτοὺς προσδέξηται, ἐξαγριουμένη διαφθείρει. Ἡ δὲ γυναικὶ ὁμοιωθεῖσα πρὸς αὐτὸν ἔφη· ,,ἀλλʼ ὦ οὗτος, μὴ μέμφου ἐμὲ, ἀλλὰ τοὺς ἀνέμους· ἐγὼ γὰρ φύσει τοιαύτη εἰμὶ, ὁποία ἡ γῆ· οἱ δὲ αἰφνίδιοι ἐμπίπτοντες κυματοῦσι καὶ ἐξαγριαίνουσιν.“
Ἀτὰρ οὖν καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐπὶ τῶν ἀδικημάτων οὐ δεῖ τοὺς δρῶντας αἰτιᾶσθαι, ὅταν ἑτέροις ὑποτεταγμένοι ὦσι τοὺς δὲ τούτοις ἐπιστατοῦντας.
