ἀξιῶ δʼ ὑμᾶς ἐκεῖνο ἐνθυμηθῆναι μᾶλλον, ὅτι πολλῶν ὄντων κατὰ τὴν πόλιν, ἐφʼ οἷς ἅπασιν εὐλόγως σεμνύνεσθε, πρῶτον μὲν τῶν νόμων καὶ τῆς εὐταξίας τῆς περὶ τὴν πολιτείαν, ἐφʼ οἷς καὶ μάλιστα φιλοτιμεῖσθε, ἔπειτα οἶμαι καὶ τῶν τοιούτων, ἱερῶν, θεάτρων, νεωρίων, τειχῶν, λιμένων· ὧν τὰ μὲν πλοῦτον ἐμφαίνει καὶ μεγαλοψυχίαν καὶ τὸ μέγεθος τῆς πρότερον δυνάμεως, τὰ δὲ καὶ τὴν πρὸς τοὺς θεοὺς εὐσέβειαν, οὐθενὸς ἧττον ἥδεσθε ἐπὶ τῷ πλήθει τῶν ἀνδριάντων, εἰκότως·
