ἴσως ἂν οὖν εἴποι τις ἀνήκοος, Οὐκ ὀρθῶς Ἕλληνας καθαιρεῖς. ἀλλʼ οὐδὲν ἔστιν ἔτι τοιοῦτον, οὐδὲ ἔστι δέος μή ποτε ἐπιστρατεύσωνται ἐπὶ τὴν Ἑλλάδα τῶν ἐκ τῆς Ἀσίας τινές· ἥ τε γὰρ Ἑλλὰς ὑφʼ ἑτέροις ἐστὶν ἥ τε Ἀσία. τὸ δὲ ἀληθὲς οὐκ ὀλίγου ἄξιον. πρὸς δὲ τούτοις, εἰ ᾔδειν ὅτι πείσω ταῦτα λέγων, ἴσως ἂν ἐβουλευσάμην εἰπεῖν. ὅμως δὲ μείζω καὶ δυσχερέστερα ὀνείδη φημὶ τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἀφελεῖν.
