ἀλλὰ νὴ Δία ταῦτα μόνον τότʼ εἶχε βέλτιον ἢ νῦν, τὰ δʼ ἄλλα χεῖρον. πολλοῦ γε καὶ δεῖ, ἀλλʼ ὅ τι βούλεσθʼ ἐξετάσωμεν. οἰκοδομήματα μέν γε καὶ κόσμον τῆς πόλεως, ἱερῶν καὶ λιμένων καὶ τῶν ἀκολούθων τούτοις, τοιοῦτον καὶ τοσοῦτον κατέλιπον ἐκεῖνοι ὥστε μηδενὶ τῶν ἐπιγιγνομένων ὑπερβολὴν λελεῖφθαι, προπύλαια ταῦτα, νεώσοικοι, στοαί, τἄλλα, οἷς ἐκεῖνοι κοσμήσαντες τὴν πόλιν ἡμῖν παρέδωκαν·
