O izvirniku

Besedilo
Opica in kamela
At a gathering of the animals, a monkey stood up and danced. His performance won great acclaim, and everyone applauded him. A camel, filled with envy, wished to win the same praise. So she too stood up and tried to dance. But her antics were so ungainly that the animals grew angry and drove her out, beating her with clubs.
This fable is fitting for those who, out of envy, compete with their betters and come to grief.

Ἐν συνόδῳ τῶν ἀλόγων ζώων πίθηκος ἀναστὰς ὠρχεῖτο. Σφόδρα δὲ αὐτοῦ εὐδοκιμοῦντος, καὶ ὑπὸ πάντων ἐπισημαινομένου, κάμηλος φθονήσασα ἠβουλήθη τῶν αὐτῶν ἐφικέσθαι. Διόπερ ἐξαναστᾶσα ἐπειρᾶτο καὶ αὐτὴ ὀρχεῖσθαι· πολλὰ δὲ αὐτῆς ἄτοπα ποιησάσης, τὰ ζῶα ἀγανακτήσαντα, ῥοπάλοις αὐτὴν παίοντα ἐξήλασαν.
Πρὸς τοὺς διὰ φθόνον κρείττοσιν ἁμιλλωμένους καὶ σφαλλομένους ὁ λόγος εὔκαιρος.
