I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then tolerate me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting.
Πάλιν λέγω, μή τίς με δόξῃ ἄφρονα εἶναι· εἰ δὲ μήγε, κἂν ὡς ἄφρονα δέξασθέ με, ἵνα κἀγὼ μικρόν τι καυχήσωμαι.
Palin legō, mē tis me doxē aphrona einai· ei de mēge, kan ōs aphrona dexasthe me, ina kagō mikron ti kaychēsōmai.
