οἱ γὰρ τῆς κατὰ τὸν παρόντα χρόνον γενεᾶς πρόγονοι, καὶ πατέρες καὶ τούτων ἐπάνω τὰς προσηγορίας ἔχοντες, αἷς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν γένει γνωρίζονται, ἠδίκησαν μὲν οὐδένα πώποτʼ οὔθʼ Ἕλληνʼ οὔτε βάρβαρον, ἀλλʼ ὑπῆρχεν αὐτοῖς πρὸς ἅπασι τοῖς ἄλλοις καλοῖς κἀγαθοῖς καὶ δικαιοτάτοις εἶναι, ἀμυνόμενοι δὲ πολλὰ καὶ καλὰ διεπράξαντο.
