Ὁ δέ σοι τοῦ παντὸς λόγου οἱονεὶ κολοφὼν ἐπήχθω τοῦ βασιλέως ἔπαινος, καὶ ὅτι τῷ ὄντι ἀγωνοθέτης πάντων ἀγώνων ὁ τὴν εἰρήνην πρυτανεύων, δι’ ἣν καὶ τοὺς ἀγῶνας ἐπιτελεῖν οἷόν τε. ἤδη δέ τινες καὶ τοὺς διατιθέντας τοὺς ἀγῶνας ἐπῄνεσαν, εἰ ἄρα ἔνδοξοί τινες οὗτοι, ὅτι καὶ ἐν ἄλλοις πρότερον γενόμενοι χρήσιμοι, καὶ ἐν τούτοις ὅτι φιλοτιμότατοι. εἰ δὲ μὴ ἄλλα ἔχεις πρεσβύτερα, ὅτι ἀρχὴ τῆς φιλοτιμίας τῆς περὶ τὴν πα|τρίδα μεγίστη καὶ Ἑλληνικωτάτη.
