EX INCERTIS FABULIS.
Πολλῶν σφόδρ' ὄντων χἀτέρων ἐν τῷ βίῳ
ἐφ' οἷς ἅπαντες εἰκότως θορυβούμεθα,
μάλιστ' ἐμοὶ δήπουθε κινοῦσιν χολήν
οἱ τῶν τρόπων φάσκοντες ἐπιεικῶς ἐρᾶν
καὶ λανθάνειν δοκοῦντες, ὅτι πεπλασμένως
τὸ πρᾶγμα παρακεντοῦσι κοὐκ ἀληθινῶς.
τίνα γὰρ ἔχει, πρὸς τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς, διαφοράν
ὁ τῶν νεωτέρων τε καὶ λείων τρόπος
παρ' ὃν οἱ δασεῖς ἔχουσι καὶ προβεβηκότες;
