δόξας δὲ ὑμετέρας κατέλαβον παλαιὰς ἀκινήτους, αἷς οὐκ ἦν ἐναντιοῦσθαι δυνατόν, καὶ δημιουργοὺς ἄλλους περὶ τὰ θεῖα, πρεσβυτέρους ἡμῶν καὶ πολὺ σοφωτέρους ἀξιοῦντας εἶναι, τοὺς ποιητάς, ἐκείνων μὲν δυναμένων εἰς πᾶσαν ἐπίνοιαν ἄγειν διὰ τῆς ποιήσεως, τῶν δὲ ἡμετέρων αὐτουργημάτων μόνην ταύτην ἱκανὴν ἐχόντων εἰκασίαν.
