Χρῆται δὲ αὐταῖς Ὅμηρος καὶ πρὸς δείνωσιν ἐνίοτε καὶ ἔμφασιν, καὶ παίζων φοβερώτερός ἐστι, πρῶτός τε εὑρηκέναι δοκεῖ φοβερὰς χάριτας, ὥσπερ τὸ ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀχαριτωτάτου προσώπου, τὸ ἐπὶ τοῦ Κύκλωπος, τὸ Οὖτιν ἐγὼ πύματον ἔδομαι, τοὺς δὲ λοιποὺς πρώτους, τὸ τοῦ Κύκλωπος ξένιον· οὐ γὰρ οὕτως αὐτὸν ἐνέφηνεν δεινὸν ἐκ τῶν ἄλλων, ὅταν δύο δειπνῇ ἑταίρους, οὐδ’ ἀπὸ τοῦ θυρεοῦ ἢ ἐκ τοῦ ῥοπάλου, ὡς ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἀστεϊσμοῦ.
