ὃ δὲ ἐτόλμησεν εἰπεῖν περὶ τῶν ναυαγίων, πρᾶγμα οὕτως ἀνόσιον καὶ πονηρόν· τοῦτο γὰρ μικροῦ ἐξελαθόμην εἰπεῖν ὃ πάντων πρῶτον ἔδει με εἰρηκέναι· τίς ἂν πιστεύσειέ ποτε ὑμῶν; πρὸς γὰρ τῇ ἀσεβείᾳ καὶ ἀδύνατόν ἐστιν ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ὁτιοῦν λαβεῖν, ὅπου καὶ τῶν ξύλων οὐδὲν πλέον ἔστιν ἰδεῖν ἢ τὴν τέφραν· οὕτω πάνυ σμικρὰ ἐκπίπτει, καὶ ἔστιν ἐκείνη μόνη ἡ ἀκτὴ ἁπασῶν ἀπρόσιτος.
