Besedilo
Lev in bik
A lion, plotting against an enormous bull, wished to get the better of him. So, claiming to have slaughtered a sheep, he invited the bull to a feast, intending to overpower him once he had reclined to dine. But when the bull arrived and saw many cauldrons and great spits, yet no sheep anywhere, he turned to leave without a word. The lion reproached him and asked why he was leaving so unreasonably when nothing bad had happened to him. The bull replied, “I have good reason for what I am doing: I see preparations made not for a sheep, but for a bull.” The story shows that the schemes of the wicked do not escape the notice of the wise.

Λέων ταύρῳ παμμεγέθει ἐπιβουλεύων ἠβουλήθη αὐτοῦ περιγενέσθαι· διόπερ πρόβατον τεθυκέναι φήσας πρὸς ἑστίασιν αὐτὸν ἐκάλεσε, βουλόμενος κατακλιθέντα αὐτὸν καταγωνίσασθαι. Ὁ δὲ ἐλθὼν καὶ θεασάμενος λέβητας πολλοὺς καὶ ὀβελίσκους μεγάλους, τὸ δὲ πρόβατον οὐδαμοῦ, μηδὲν εἰπὼν ἀπηλλάττετο. Τοῦ δὲ λέοντος αἰτιωμένου αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν αἰτίαν πυνθανομένου, διʼ ἣν οὐδὲν δεινὸν παθὼν ἀλόγως ἄπεισιν, ἔφη· „ἀλλʼ ἔγωγε οὐ μάτην ποιῶ· ὁρῶ γὰρ κατασκευὴν οὐχ ὡς εἰς πρόβατον, ἀλλʼ εἰς ταῦρον ἡτοιμασμένην.“
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τοὺς φρονίμους τῶν ἀνθρώπων αἱ τῶν πονηρῶν τέχναι οὐ λανθάνουσι.
