ΙΙ. ΟΣΤΙΣ ΕΙΜΙ ΕΓΩ, Part I
ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι παιδίον Ἑλληνικόν, οἰκῶ δ’ ἐν ἀγροῖς. ἐνταῦθα γὰρ ἐν τοῖς ἀγροῖς γεωργός τις Θράσυλλός ἐστιν, ὅς γεωργεῖ καὶ ἔχει χωρίον. ἆρα ἐρωτᾷς, τίς μὲν ἐγώ, τίς δ’ ὁ Θράσυλλος; λέγω δή. τέκνον γάρ εἰμι ἐγώ τοῦ Θρασύλλου. καὶ μὴν ἄλλα γε ἔχει τέκνα ὁ Θράσυλλος. καὶ γὰρ ἐγώ εἰμι τέκνον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔχω ἀδελφόν τε καὶ ἀδελφήν. ὀνομάζουσιν δ’ ἐμὲ μὲν Θρασύμαχον, τὸν δ’ ἀδελφὸν ὀνομάζουσιν Θρασύστομον, τὴν δ’ ἀδελφὴν Ἑλένην ὀνομάζουσιν. ἐσμὲν οὖν τέκνα τοῦ Θρασύλλου, ἐσμὲν δὲ καὶ τῆς Εὐρυδίκης τέκνα.
