τί δέ, εἶπεν ὁ Φίλιππος, οὐ δίδωσιν ἐσθῆτα ὡς οἷόν τε καλλίστην τοῖς ἥρωσι; νὴ Δία γε, ἦ δʼ ὃς ὁ Ἀλέξανδρος, οὐ μέντοι γυναικείανοὐδὲ ποικίλην, ἀλλὰ πορφύρᾳ μόνον ἐκόσμησε τὸν Ἀγαμέμνονα, καὶ τὸν Ὀδυσσέα δὲ μιᾷ χλαίνῃ τῇ οἴκοθεν. οὐδὲ γὰρ οἴεται δεῖν Ὅμηρος τὸν ἡγεμόνα φαίνεσθαι ταπεινὸν οὐδὲ τοῖς πολλοῖς καὶ ἰδιώταις ὅμοιον, ἀλλὰ καὶ στολῇ καὶ ὁπλίσει διαφέρειν παρὰ τοὺς ἄλλους ἐπὶ τὸ μεῖζον καὶ σεμνότερον, οὐ μὴν τρυφῶντά γε οὐδὲ .
