1	τεῖμα ¹l. τῖμα τὴν ὑπάρχουσαν οὐσία ν δυοῖν ἕνεκεν,
2	τοῦ τε ζημίαν μεγάλην ἐνεγκεῖν δύνασθαι,
3	καὶ φίλοις σπουδαίοις δυστυχοῦσι βοηθεῖν

¹ l. τῖμα

convex

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