ἐνταῦθα τοὺς μὲν ἡνιόχους πεποίηκεν ἀγωνιστὰς καὶ φιλοτιμουμένους, τοὺς δὲ θεατὰς καθʼ ἡσυχίαν θεωροῦντας, ὥσπερ καὶ προσῆκε. μόνον δʼ ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει φησὶν Αἴαντα τὸν Λοκρὸν ὁρᾶν ἀπρεπέστερον καὶ λοιδορεῖσθαι Ἰδομενεῖ περὶ τῶν ἵππων τῶν Εὐμήλου. οὗτος μέντοι ἐστὶν ὁ περὶ τὴν Ἀθηνᾶν αὖθις ἀσεβήσασἁλισκομένης τῆς Τροίας, καὶ αὐτός τε διὰ τοῦτο κεραυνωθεὶς καὶ τοῦ χειμῶνος καὶ τῆς ναυαγίας τοῖς πᾶσιν αἴτιος γενόμενος. ὁ γὰρ ἐν τοιούτοις θρασὺς καὶ προπετὴς οὐδὲ τἄλλα εἶναι δύναται σώφρων, ὥσπερ καὶ εἶπον ἤδη.
