Translation
Damascius says: "you cultivated none of the many virtues as seriously as you did their mother, to use Pythagoras' expression, friendship itself."
Greek original · Adler’s text
Φιλία· Δαμάσκιός φησι· περὶ γὰρ οὐδεμίαν τῶν πολλῶν ἀρετῶν οὕτως ἐσπούδακας ὡς περὶ τὴν μητέρα αὐτῶν, κατὰ τὸν Πυθαγόραν εἰπεῖν, αὐτὴν τὴν φιλίαν.
