De Domo 8
-
καὶ τοίνυν ἡ τοῦδε τοῦ οἴκου ὀροφή, μᾶλλον δὲ κεφαλή, εὐπρόσωπος μὲν καὶ καθ᾽ ἑαυτήν, τῷ χρυσῷ δ᾽ ἐς τοσοῦτον κεκόσμηται, ἐς ὅσον καὶ οὐρανὸς ἐν νυκτὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀστέρων ἐκ διαστήματος περιλαμπόμενος καὶ ἐκ διαλείμματος ἀνθῶν τῷ πυρί. ἴδοι δ᾽ ἄν τις οὐδ᾽ ἀργὸν ἐνταῦθα τὸν χρυσὸν οὐδὲ μόνου τοῦ τέρποντος εἵνεκα τῷ λοιπῷ κόσμῳ συνεσπαρμένον, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐγήν τινα ἡδεῖαν ἀπολάμπει καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὅλον ἐπιχρώννυσι τῷ ἐρυθήματι
