Τοῦ αὐτοῦ εἴδους ἐστὶ καὶ τὸ Πλάτωνος πρὸς Διονύσιον ψευσάμενον καὶ ἀρνησάμενον, ὅτι ἐγώ σοι Πλάτων οὐδὲν ὡμολόγησα, σὺ μέντοι, νὴ τοὺς θεούς. καὶ γὰρ ἐλήλεγκται ἐψευσμένος, καὶ ἔχει τι ὁ λόγος σχῆμα μεγαλεῖον ἅμα καὶ ἀσφαλές. Πολλαχῆ μέντοι καὶ ἐπαμφοτερίζουσιν· οἷς ἐοικέναι εἴ τις ἐθέλοι καὶ ψόγους εἰκαιοψόγους εἶναι , παράδειγμα τὸ τοῦ Αἰσχίνου ἐπὶ τοῦ Τηλαυγοῦς· πᾶσα γὰρ σχεδὸν ἡ περὶ τὸν Τηλαυγῆ διήγησις ἀπορίαν παρέχοι, εἴτε θαυμασμὸς εἴτε χλευασμός ἐστι. τὸ δὲ τοιοῦτον εἶδος ἀμφίβολον, καίτοι εἰρωνεία οὐκ ὂν ἔχει τινὰ ὅμως καὶ εἰρωνείας ἔμφασιν.
