Besedilo
Volkovi in psi
Once there was enmity between wolves and dogs, and a Greek dog was chosen as the dogs’ general. He was slow to go into battle, while the wolves uttered fierce threats. But he said, “Do you know why I delay? It is always wise to take counsel beforehand. You are all of one breed and one color, but our dogs are of many kinds and boast of the places they come from. Nor are they all alike in color: some are black, some reddish, some white, and some gray. How, then, could I lead into battle those who are at odds with one another and have so little in common?”

Λύκοις καὶ κυσὶν ἦν ποτε ἔχθρα· κύων δὲ Ἕλλην ᾑρέθη στρατηγὸς κυσίν. Οὗτος πρὸς τὴν μάχην ἐβράδυνεν· οἱ δὲ λύκοι ἠπείλουν σφοδρῶς. Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· „Οἴδατε, τίνος χάριν βραδύνω; πρέπον ἐστὶν ἀεὶ προβουλεύεσθαι. Ὑμῶν γὰρ τὸ γένος καὶ ἡ χροιὰ πάντων ἕν ἐστιν· οἱ ἡμέτεροι δʼ ἐκ πολλῶν τρόπων εἰσὶ καὶ τοῖς τόποις καυχῶνται. Ἀλλὰ καὶ ἡ χροιὰ ἁπάντων οὐκ ἔστι μία καὶ ἴση· ἀλλʼ οἱ μὲν μέλανες, οἱ δὲ πυῤῥοὶ, οἱ δὲ λευκοὶ, οἱ δὲ τεφρώδεις. Καὶ πῶς ἄν δυνηθείην εἰς πόλεμον ἄρχειν τῶν ἀσυμφώνων καὶ μὴ ὅμοια πάντα ἐχόντων;“
