1τεῖμα 1l. τῖμα τὴν ὑπάρχουσαν οὐσία ν δυοῖν ἕνεκεν,
2τοῦ τε ζημίαν μεγάλην ἐνεγκεῖν δύνασθαι,
3καὶ φίλοις σπουδαίοις δυστυχοῦσι βοηθεῖν
4πρὸς δὲ τὸν ἄλλον βίον μηδὲν ὑπερβαλλόντως,
5ἀλλὰ μετρίως αὐτὴν ἀγάπα.

1 l. τῖμα
convex
1Prize the substance you have for two reasons,
2that you may have the means to bear a heavy loss
3and that you may aid worthy friends when they are in distress;
4but for your life in general, cherish your possessions not in excess,
5but in moderation. (after Norlin 1928)
