Quotation
Λεύκολλος δὲ κατασκευάσας τὸ τῆς Εὐτυχίας ἱερὸν καὶ στοάν τινα χρῆσιν ᾐτήσατο ὧν εἶχεν ἀνδριάντων ὁ Μόμμιος, ὡς κοσμήσων τὸ ἱερὸν μέχρι ἀναδείξεως, εἶτ᾽ ἀποδώσων: οὐκ ἀπέδωκε δέ, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνέθηκε κελεύσας αἴρειν εἰ βούλεται: πράως δ᾽ ἤνεγκεν ἐκεῖνος οὐ φροντίσας οὐδέν, ὥστ᾽ ηὐδοκίμει τοῦ ἀναθέντος μᾶλλον.
