Λέοντός τις κυνηγὸς ἴχνη ἐπεζήτει· δρυτόμον δὲ ἐρωτήσας εἰ εἶδεν ἴχην λέοντος καὶ ποῦ κοιτάζει, ἐφη· Καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν λέοντά σοι ἤδη δείξω. Ὁ δὲ ὠχριάσας ἐκ τοῦ φόβου καὶ τοὺς ὀδόντας συγκρούων εἶπεν· Ἴχνη μόνα ζητῶ, οὐχὶ αὐτὸν τὸν λέοντα. [Ὅτι] τοὺς θρασεῖς καὶ δειλοὺς ὁ μῦθος ἐλέγχει, τοὺς τολμηροὺς ἐν τοῖς λόγοις καὶ οὐκ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις.
