Adtento studio nostra commemorauimus: remissiore nunc animo aliena narrentur. perditae luxuriae Athenis adulescens Polemo, neque inlecebris eius tantum modo, sed etiam ipsa infamia gaudens, cum e conuiuio non post occasum solis, sed post ortum surrexisset domumque rediens Xenocratis philosophi patentem ianuam uidisset, uino grauis, unguentis delibutus, sertis capite redimito, perlucida ueste amictus refertam turba doctorum hominum scholam eius intrauit. nec contentus tam deformi introitu consedit etiam, ut clarissimum eloquium et prudentissima praecepta temulentiae lasciuiis eleuaret. orta deinde, ut par erat, omnium indignatione Xenocrates uultum in eodem habitu continuit omissaque re, quam disserebat, de modestia ac temperantia loqui coepit. cuius grauitate sermonis resipiscere coactus Polemo primum coronam capite detractam proiecit, paulo post brachium intra pallium reduxit, procedente tempore oris conuiualis hilaritatem deposuit, ad ultimum totam luxuriam exuit uniusque orationis saluberrima medicina sanatus ex infami ganeone maximus philosophus euasit. peregrinatus est huius animus in nequitia, non habitauit.
