Besedilo
Pastir in volčji mladiči
A shepherd found some wolf cubs and raised them with great care, thinking that when they were fully grown, they would not only guard his own sheep but also steal others and bring them to him. But as soon as they had grown, they seized their chance and began by ravaging his own flock. With a groan, he said, “I have only got what I deserve. Why did I save them as cubs, when I ought to kill them even when fully grown?” So those who spare the wicked unwittingly strengthen them to turn first against themselves.

Ποιμὴν εὑρὼν λυκιδεῖς, τούτους μετὰ πολλῆς ἐπιμελείας ἀνέτρεφεν, οἰόμενος, ὅτι τελειωθέντες οὐ μόνον τὰ ἑαυτοῦ πρόβατα τηρήσουσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἕτερα ἁρπάζοντες αὐτῷ οἴσουσιν. Οἱ δὲ ὡς τάχιστα ηὐξήθησαν, ἀδείας τυχόντες πρώτην αὐτοῦ τὴν ποίμνην διαφθείρειν ἤρξαντο. Ὁ δὲ ἀναστενάξας εἶπεν· ,,ἀλλʼ ἔγωγε δίκαια πέπονθα· τί γὰρ τούτους νηπίους ὄντας ἔσωζον, οὓς ἔδει καὶ ηὐξημένους ἀναιρεῖν;“
Οὕτως οἱ τοὺς πονηροὺς περισώζοντες λανθάνουσι καθʼ αὐτῶν πρῶτον αὐτοὺς ῥωννύντες.
