ἄλλως δὲ ὑπὲρ ἀγωγῆς τινος καὶ μετριότητος βίου. καὶ τοίνυν οὐδʼ ὑποκριτὰς τραγικοὺς ἢ κωμικοὺς ἤ διά τινων μίμων ἀκράτου γέλωτος δημιουργοὺς οὐδὲ ὀρχηστὰς οὐδὲ χορευτὰς, πλήν γε τῶν ἱερῶν χορῶν, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐπί γε τοῖς Νιόβης ἤ Θυέστου πάθεσιν ᾅδοντας ἤ ὀρχουμένους, οὐδὲ κιθαρῳδοὺς οὐδὲ αὐλητὰς περὶ νίκης ἐν θεάτροις ἁμιλλωμένους, εἰ καί τινες τῶν ἐνδόξων πόλεων ἐπὶ τούτοις ἡμῖν δυσχερῶς ἕξουσι, Σμύρνα καὶ Χίος, καὶ δῆτα σὺν ταύταις καὶ τὸ Ἄργος, ὡς τὴν Ὁμήρου τε καὶ Ἀγαμέμνονος δόξαν οὐκ ἐώντων αὔξεσθαι τὸ γοῦν ἐφʼ ἡμῖν·
