ἢ οὐ πολλοὺς τῶν καλουμένων βασιλέων ἰδεῖν ἔστι καπήλους καὶ τελώνας καὶ πορνοβοσκούς; ἀλλὰ Δρόμωνα μὲν καὶ Σάραμβον, ὅτι ἐν Ἀθήναις καπηλεύουσι καὶ ὑπὸ Ἀθηναίων τοῦτο ἀκούουσι τὸ ὄνομα, δικαίως φαμὲν ἀκούειν, Δαρεῖον δὲ τὸν πρότερον, ὅτι ἐν Βαβυλῶνι καὶ Σούσοις ἐκαπήλευε, καὶ Πέρσαι αὐτὸν ἔτι καὶ νῦν καλοῦσι κάπηλον, οὐ δικαίως κεκλῆσθαι; ἴδιόν γε μὴν τούτῳσυμβέβηκε παρὰ τοὺς ἄλλους δαίμονας·
