καὶ μὴν ὧν γέ τις τὴν τιμὴν κατέβαλε τοῖς κυρίοις, οὐδʼ ἀμφισβητεῖ δήπουθεν οὐδεὶς ὡς οὐ δικαιόν ἐστιν ἐᾶν ἔχειν αὐτόν, τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον ὅσῳπερ ἂν πλείονα ᾖ δεδωκώς. οὐκοῦν ἅπαντες οὗτοι δεδώκασιτιμὴν ἕκαστος τῆς εἰκόνος τῆς ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ταύτην οὐδὲ μετρίαν, οἱ μὲν στρατηγίας λαμπρὰς ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως, οἱ δὲ πρεσβείας, οἱ δὲ καὶ τρόπαια ἀπὸ τῶν πολεμίων, οἱ δέ τινες καὶ χρήματα ἴσως, οὐ μὰ Δία χιλίας δραχμὰς οὐδὲ πεντακοσίας, ὅσων ἔστιν εἰκόνα ἀναστῆσαι.
