Besedilo
Kupec osla
A man who was thinking of buying a donkey took it on trial to see what it was like. He brought it home and put it at the manger with his own donkeys. But it left the others and stood beside the laziest and most gluttonous of them [who did no work]. So the man tied it up, led it back, and returned it to its owner. When the owner asked whether he had put it to the test so quickly, he replied, “Why, I have no need to try it out. I know what it is like from the companion it chose out of all the others.” Everyone is judged by the company they keep.

Ὄνον τις ἀγοράζειν μέλλων, ἐπὶ δοκιμασίᾳ καὶ πείρᾳ αὐτὸν ἔλαβεν· καὶ εἰσαγαγὼν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τῆς φάτνης μετὰ τῶν ἰδίων αὐτοῦ ὄνων τοῦτον ἔστησεν. Ὁ δὲ καταλιπὼν τοὺς ἄλλους ἐπὶ τῷ ἀργοτάτῳ καὶ ἀδδηφάγῳ ἔστη. [καὶ ὃς οὐδὲν ἐποίει.] Δήσας οὖν καὶ ἀπαγαγών, τῷ ἰδίῳ δεσπότῃ τοῦτον παρέδωκε. Τοῦ δὲ ἐρωτῶντος, εἰ οὕτω ταχεῖαν αὐτοῦ τὴν δοκιμασίαν ἐποιήσατο, ὑποτυχν εἶπεν· ,,ἀλλʼ ἔγωγε οὐδὲ ἐπιδέομαι πείρας· οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι τοιοῦτος, ὁποῖον ἐξ ἁπάντων τὸν συνήθη ἐπελέξατο.“
Ὅτι τοιοῦτος ἕκαστος ὑπολαμβάνεται εἶναι, ὁποίοις ἑταίροις συναναστρέφεται.
