A Transcription of the Text on the Poster "Humanist Greek and Greek Teaching at the Royal Academy of Turku"

Isoc.ad Demonic. [19]

 

μὴ κατόκνει μακρὰν ὁδὸν πορεύεσθαι πρὸς τοὺς διδάσκειν τὶ [!]

χρήσιμον ἐπαγγελλομένους, αἰσχρὸν γὰρ, τοὺς μὲν ἐμπόρους τηλικαῦτα

πελάγη διαπερᾶν, ἕνεκα τοῦ πλείω ποιῆσαι τὴν ὑπάρχουσαν οὐσίαν,

τοὺς δὲ νεωτέρους μηδὲ τὰς κατὰ γὴν [!] πορείας ὑπομένειν, ἐπὶ τῷ

βελτίῳ [!] καταστῆσαι τὴν ἑαυτῶν διάνοιαν.
