Καὶ λύσεις συχναὶ ὁποῖαι οὐ πρέπουσιν ἐπιστολαῖς· ἀσαφὲς γὰρ ἐν γραφῇ ἡ λύσις, καὶ τὸ μιμητικὸν οὐ γραφῆς οὕτως οἰκεῖον, ὡς ἀγῶνος, οἷον ὡς ἐν τῷ Εὐθυδήμῳ· τίς ἦν, ὦ Σώκρατες, ᾧ χθὲς ἐν Λυκείῳ διελέγου; ἦ πολὺς ὑμᾶς ὄχλος περιειστήκει· καὶ μικρὸν προελθὼν ἐπιφέρει, ἀλλά μοι ξένος τις φαίνεται εἶναι, ᾧ διελέγου· τίς ἦν; ἡ γὰρ τοιαύτη πᾶσα ἑρμηνεία καὶ μίμησις ὑποκριτῇ πρέποι μᾶλλον, οὐ γραφομέναις ἐπιστολαῖς.
