οὐ τοίνυν οὐδὲ ἐκεῖνοἔστιν εἰπεῖν ὅτι μὴ τοῦτο ὑπάρχει μέγιστον τῶν δεδομένων τισί· δίχα γὰρ τοῦ πᾶσιν εἶναι φανερὸν ἑαυτοῖς ἐναντία ἐροῦσιν οἱ λέγοντες. φασὶ γὰρ ἀνάγκην εἶναι πολλοὺς ἐν τῷ παρόντι τιμᾶν τῶν ἡγουμένων, οἷς ἅπασιν εἰκόνας εἰ δεήσει κατασκευάζεσθαι, μεγάλην τινὰ ἔσεσθαι τὴν δαπάνην, ὡς τάς γε ἄλλας τιμὰς οὐκοὔσας κατʼ αὐτοὺς οὐδὲ ἀποδεξομένων αὐτῶν ὡς πολὺ ἐλάττους.
