οὐκ ἔχων δὲ ὅ, τι αὐτοῖς χαρίσηται τὸν Ἄρην καὶ τὴν Ἀφροδίτην φησὶ τρωθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ Διομήδους. ἐν οἷς ἅπασι δῆλός ἐστιν εὔνους μὲν ὢν ἐκείνοις καὶ βουλόμενος αὐτοὺς θαυμάζειν, οὐκ ἔχων δὲ ὅ,τι εἴπῃ ἀληθές, διὰ τὴν ἀπορίαν εἰς ἀδύνατα ἐμπίπτων καὶ ἀσεβῆ πράγματα, ὃ πάσχουσιν ὡς τὸ πολὺ πάντες ὅσοι τῇ ἀληθείᾳ μάχονται.
