τὸ γὰρ ἀγνοούμενον καὶ μὴ δοκοῦντα μηδενὸς ἄξιον ποιεῖν ὁτιοῦν ἔλαττον αἰσχρόν· τὸ δὲ οὕτως ὄντας ἐπισήμους καὶ θαυμαζομένους παρὰ πᾶσιν ἀνάγκην ἔχειν ὥσπερ τοὺς ἀγεννεῖς κύνας σαίνειν τὸν παριόντα δεινόν. φέρε τοίνυν, εἰ δὲ καὶ πάντας δέοι τιμᾶν οὕτως καὶ τὴν ἐσχάτηνἀπορίαν θείη τις εἶναι περὶ τὴν πόλιν, πόσῳ κρεῖττον αὐτὸ τὸ ψήφισμα προσπέμψαι τὸ τῆς εἰκόνος, ἵνʼ ἐὰν βούληται, στήσῃ παρʼ ἑαυτοῦ;
