Γεωργὸς καὶ παῖδες αὐτοῦ.
Ἀνὴρ γεωργὸς μέλλων τελευτᾶν καὶ βουλόμενος τοὺς αὑτοῦ παῖδας ἐμπείρους εἶναι τῆς γεωργίας, μετακαλεσάμενος αὐτοὺς, ἔφη· “Τεκνία, ἐν μιᾷ μου τῶν ἀμπέλων θησαυρὸς ἀπόκειται.” Οἱ δὲ μετὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ τελευτὴν ὕνας τε καὶ δικέλλας λαβόντες πᾶσαν αὑτῶν τὴν γεωργίαν ὤρυξαν. Καὶ τὸν μὲν θησαυρὸν οὐχ εὗρον, ἡ δὲ ἄμπελος πολλαπλασίαν τὴν φορὰν αὐτοῖς ἀπεδίδου.
Τοῦτο μὲν ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ὁ κάματος θησαυρός ἐστι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.
