ΑΙ ΓΝωΜΑΙ ΤωΝ ΠΥΘΑΓΟΡΕΙωΝ
1 Ἀνανεоύσθω σоι ὁ περὶ τῶν ἀγαθῶν λόγoς καθ̕ ἡμέραν μᾶλλον ἢ τὸ σῶμα τοῖς σιτίοις.
2 ἀπαιδευσία πάντων τῶν παθῶν μήτηρ. πᾶν δὲ πάθος ψυχῆς εἰς σωτηρίαν πολεμιώτατον. τὸ δὲ πεπαιδεῦσθαι οὐκ πολυμɑθείας ἀναλήψει, ἐν ἀπαλλάξει δὲ τῶν φυοικῶν παθῶν θεωρεῖται.
3 ἃ ĸτησάμενος оὐ καθέξεις, μὴ αἰτοῦ παρὰ θεοῦ. δῶρον γὰρ θεοῦ πᾶν ἀναφαίρετον. ὥστε οὐ δώσει ὃ μὴ καθέξεις.
4 ἄξιος ἄνθρωπος θεοῦ θεὸς ἂν εἴη ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
5 ἄγρυπνος ἔσο κατὰ νοῦν. ουγγενὴς γὰρ τοῦ ἀληθινοῦ θανάτου ὁ περὶ τὸν υοῦν ὕπνος.
6 ἃ μὴ δεῖ ποιεῖν, μηδὲ ὑπονοῦ ποιεῖν.
6a ἀθανάτους σοι πίστευε παρὰ τῇ κρίσει καὶ τὰς τιμὰς καὶ τὰς τιμωρίας.
7 αἱρετώτερόν σοι ἔστω λίθον εἰκῇ βἀλλειν ἢ λόγον ἀργόν.
