ὑφʼ ἧς καὶ τῇ Ἀθηνᾷ λέγεται προσφιλὲς εἶναι τὸ ὄρνεον, τῇ καλλίστῃ τῶν θεῶν καὶ σοφωτάτῃ, καὶ τῆς γε Φειδίου τέχνης παρὰ Ἀθηναίοισἔτυχεν, οὐκ ἀπαξιώσαντος αὐτὴν συγκαθιδρῦσαι τῇ θεῷ, συνδοκοῦν τῷ δήμῳ. Περικλέα δὲ καὶ αὑτὸν λαθὼν ἐποίησεν, ὥς φασιν, ἐπὶ τῆς ἀσπίδος. οὐ μέντοι ταῦτά γε εὐτυχήματα νομίζειν ἔπεισί μοι τῆς γλαυκός, εἰ μή τινα φρόνησιν ἄρα κέκτηται πλείω.
