ἴστε γὰρ Ἄκρατον ἐκεῖνον, ὃς τὴν οἰκουμένην σχεδὸν ἅπασαν περιελθὼν τούτου χάριν καὶ μηδὲ κώμην παρεὶς μηδεμίαν, ὡς κἀνθάδε ἧκε. λυπουμένων δʼ ὑμῶν, ὅπερ εἰκός, κατὰ θέαν ἔφη παρεῖναι· μηδὲ γὰρ ἔχειν ἐξουσίαν μηδενὸς ἅψασθαι τῶνἐνθάδε. τοιγαροῦν δίχα τοῦ κοινοῦ τῆς ὄψεως κόσμου καὶ δόξαν ὑμῖν ἑτέραν περιποιεῖ τὸ τῶν εἰκόνων πλῆθος. τῆς γὰρ πρὸς τοὺς ἡγουμένους φιλίας καὶ τῆς παρʼ ἐκείνων ἐντροπῆς ἀπόδειξις φαίνεται ταῦτα.
