εἰσὶ δὲ οἳ λέγουσιν Ἀνάξαρχον τὸν σοφιστὴν ἐλθεῖν μὲν παρʼ Ἀλέξανδρον κληθέντα, ὡς παραμυθησόμενον· εὑρόντα δὲ κείμενον καὶ ἐπιστένοντα, ἀγνοεῖν, φάναι ἐπιγελάσαντα, διότι ἐπὶ τῷδε οἱ πάλαι σοφοὶ ἄνδρες τὴν Δίκην πάρεδρον τῷ Διῒ ἐποίησαν ὡς ὅ τι ἂν πρὸς τοῦ Διὸς κυρωθῇ, τοῦτο ξὺν δίκῃ πεπραγμένον. καὶ οὖν καὶ τὰ ἐκ βασιλέως μεγάλου γιγνόμενα δίκαια χρῆναι νομίζεσθαι, πρῶτα μὲν πρὸς αὐτοῦ βασιλέως, ἔπειτα πρὸς τῶν ἄλλων ἀνθρώπων.
