κατὰ δʼ οὖν γνώμην σεμνὸς ἔσται σοι λόγος ἐκ τῶν προτετιμημένων ἐννοημάτων, προτετιμημένα δέ ἐστιν ἑνὶ λόγῳ, ὅταν τις ἐνδόξοις πράγμασι χρῆται, καὶ περὶ ἐνδόξων τι λέγηται, καὶ ὅσα σπάνιά ἐστι καὶ παλαιά. ἔνδοξα δέ ἐστι πρῶτα μὲν τὰ τῶν θεῶν, οἷον ὅταν εἰς τὰ θεῖα ἐπανάγῃς τὰς ἐννοίας, θεῶν εὔνοιαν, τύχης χρηστότητα, οἷον ἐπὶ πολλῶν ἄν τις ἰδεῖν δοκεῖ μοι τὴν παρὰ τῶν θεῶν εὔνοιαν, καὶ ὅσα τοιαῦτα.
