λοιπὸν οὖν τῶν δύο θάτερον, ἢ τῷ σφόδρα εἶναί τινας μεγάλους καὶ κατʼ ἀλήθειαν ἥρωας οὐκ ᾤοντο δεῖν ἐπιγράφειν, ὡς ἂν ἅπασι γνωρίμους ὄντας, ἡγούμενοι διὰ τὴν ὑπερβολὴν τῆς τότε οὔσης δόξης εἰς ἅπαντα καὶ τὸν αὖθις χρόνον παραμενεῖν τὸ ὄνομα· ἢ τινων ἡμιθέων ἢ καὶ θεῶν ὄντας ὕστερον ἀγνοηθῆναι διὰ τὸν χρόνον.
