Besedilo
Lisica in krokodil
A fox and a crocodile were disputing the nobility of their birth. The crocodile spoke at length about the splendor of his ancestors, finally declaring that his forefathers had been masters of the gymnasium. The fox broke in: “Why, even if you hadn’t said so, one can tell from your skin that you’ve spent many years in training.” So it is with people who tell lies: the facts expose them.

Ἀλώπηξ καὶ κροκόδειλος περὶ εὐγενείας ἢριζον. Πολλὰ δὲ τοῦ κροκοδείλου διεξιόντος περὶ τῆς τῶν προγόνων λαμπρότητος, καὶ τὸ τελευταῖον λέγοντος, ὅτι γεγυμνασιαρχηκότων ἐστὶ πατέρων, ἡ ἀλώπηξ ὑποτυχοῦσα ἔφη· ,,ἀλλὰ κἂν σὺ μὴ εἴπῃς, ἀπὸ τοῦ δέρματος φαίνῃ, ὅτι ἀπὸ πολλῶν ἐτῶν εἶ γεγυμνασμένος.“
Οὕτω καὶ τῶν ψευδολόγων ἀνθρώπων ἔλεγχός ἐστι τὰ πράγματα.
