διαιρεῖται τὸ ψευδολογεῖν εἰς τέσσαρα. ἔστι γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἓν μὲν ἐν ἀλαζονείᾳ, ἓν δὲ εἰρωνεία, ἓν δὲ κερτόμησις, ἓν δὲ ψευδολογία τις μετὰ βλάβης. ὁ μὲν οὖν ἀλαζονευόμενος ἐπὶ πλεῖον καὶ μεῖζον ψεύδεται· προσποιητικὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὃ οὐκ οἶδεν εἰδέναι θέλων καὶ ἅπερ οὐκ ἔχει ἔχειν. ὁ δὲ εἰρωνευόμενος ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλαττον ψεύδεται· ὅ τε γὰρ πλούσιος πένης φησὶν εἶναι, ἐὰν εἰρωνεύηται, καὶ ὁ σοφὸς οὐκ εἶναι σοφός. ὁ δὲ ἐν τῷ κερτομεῖν ψευδολογῶν μετὰ τοῦ σκώπτειν, οἷον ⟨ὁ⟩ τὸ ἡττᾶσθαι κρατεῖν ἢ καλὸν τὸ κακὸν λέγων καὶ σοφὸν τὸ ἀπαίδευτον, ὁ δὲ μετὰ βλάβης, οἷον ὁ τὰ ψευδῆ μαρτυρῶν καὶ ἀπαρνούμενος καὶ τἄλλα τὰ τοιαῦτα.
