τὸ ἀνάγνωσμα περὶ προβάτων

ἐνίοτε μὲν καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ Θρασύστομος μετὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἐρχόμεθα ἀνὰ τὰ ὄρη ὡς νεμοῦντες τὰ πρόβατα. εἰ δέ τι τῶν προβάτων πλανᾶται, συνίσταμεν, καί εἰ τῶν αἰγῶν τις θρασύτερος γενόμενος εἰς κίνδυνον παρὰ τὸν ποταμὸν ἢ τὴν κρήνην καθίσταται, ἀπελαύνομεν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῶν κρημνῶν. οὕτως φρουροῦμεν εὖ τὰς ἀγέλας. ἐπεὶ ὁ ἥλιος μέγα λάμπει καὶ ἡ ἡμέρα μάλα θερμαίνεται, ὑπὸ τοῖς δένδροις καθήμεθα καὶ ἡσυχάζομεν ἢ ἐν ῥεύματι μικρῷ βαδίζομεν ἢ ἐν τῷ ποταμῷ νέομεν. τότε μὲν δένδρα ἀναβαίνομεν, τότε δὲ λάχανα ἄγρια συλλέγομεν. ἐπεὶ ὁ ἥλιος καταδύνει, ἄγομεν δ᾿ πρόβατα κατὰ τὰ ὄρη καὶ αὖθις εἰς τὴν κώμην ἀπερχόμεθα.
