Besedilo
Razbojnik in murva
A robber killed a man on the road, but when some passersby gave chase, he left the body and fled. When travelers coming from the opposite direction asked what had stained his hands, he said he had just climbed down from a mulberry tree. As he was speaking, his pursuers caught up with him, seized him, and crucified him on a mulberry tree. The tree said, “For my part, I do not resent serving as the instrument of your death, for you tried to lay the bloodguilt of the murder you committed upon me.” So it is that even those who are good by nature often have no hesitation in turning against people who slander them as wicked.

Λῃστὴς ἐν ὁδῷ τινα ἀποκτείνας, ἐπειδὴ παρὰ τῶν ἐπιτυχόντων ἐδιώκετο, καταλιπὼν αὐτὸν ἔφυγε. Τῶν δὲ ἄντικρυς ὁδευόντων πυνθανομένων αὐτοῦ, τίνι μεμολυσμένας ἔχοι τὰς χεῖρας, ἔλεγεν ἀπὸ συκαμίνου καταβεβηκέναι· καὶ ὡς ταῦτα ἔλεγεν, οἱ διώκοντες αὐτὸν ἐπελθόντες καὶ συλλαβόμενοι εἰς τινα συκάμινον αὐτὸν ἐσταύρωσαν. Ἠ δὲ συκάμινος ἔφη· „ἀλλʼ ἔγωγε οὐκ ἄχθομαι πρὸς τὸν σὸν θάνατον ὑπηρετοῦσα· καὶ γὰρ ὅν αὐτὸς φόνον κατειργάσω, τοῦτον εἰς ἐμὲ † ἐξαιμά- τωσας.“
Οὕτως πολλάκις καὶ οἱ φύσει χρηστοὶ, ὅταν ὑπὸ τινῶν ὡς φαῦλοι διαβάλλωνται, κατʼ αὐτῶν πονηρεύεσθαι οὐκ ὀκνοῦσι.
