οὐ μὴν οὐδὲ ἐκεῖνο λανθάνει με, ὅτι τοὺς ἐν τούτῳ τῷ σχήματι σύνηθες μέν ἐστι τοῖς πολλοῖς Κυνικοὺς καλεῖν· οὐ μόνον δὲ οὐδὲν οἴονται διαφέρειν αὑτῶν οὐδʼ ἱκανοὺς εἶναι περὶ πραγμάτωνσπουδαίων διαλέγεσθαι,ἀλλὰ τὴν ἀρχὴν οὐδὲ σωφρονεῖν ἡγοῦνται, μαινομένους δέ τινας ἀνθρώπους καὶ ταλαιπώρους εἶναι. σκώπτειν δὲ καὶ καταγελᾶν ἔνιοι τούτων ἑτοίμως ἔχουσι καὶ πολλάκις μηδὲ σιγῶσιν ἐπιτρέπειν, οὐχ ὅπως λεγόντων ἀνέχεσθαι.
