τὸ γὰρ πιστεύεσθαι πολὺν χρόνον ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἠλιθίων οὐδέν ἐστιν ἰσχυρὸν οὐδὲ ὅτι τὰ ψευδῆ ἐλέχθη παρὰ τοῖς πρότερον· ἐπεί τοι καὶ περὶ ἄλλων πολλῶν διαφέρονται καὶ τἀναντία δοξάζουσιν. οἷον εὐθὺς περὶ τοῦ Περσικοῦ πολέμου, οἱ μέν φασιν ὑστέραν γενέσθαι τὴν περὶ Σαλαμῖνα ναυμαχίαν τῆς ἐνΠλαταιαῖς μάχης, οἱ δὲ τῶν ἔργων τελευταῖον εἶναι τὸ ἐν Πλαταιαῖς·
