βουληθεὶς γὰρ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἐπιδείξασθαι τὴν αὑτοῦ δύναμιν ἣν εἶχεν ἐν τοῖς πολιτικοῖς λόγοις, οὐκ ἠρκέσθη ταῖς ἄλλαις γραφαῖς, ἀλλὰ καὶ κρατίστου τῶν τότε ῥητόρων ἕτερον αὐτὸς ἐν τῷ Φαίδρῳ συνετάξατο λόγον ἐρωτικὸν εἰς τὴν αὐτὴν ὑπόθεσιν· καὶ οὐδὲ ἄχρι τούτου προελθὼν ἐπαύσατο καταλιπὼν ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀναγνωσομένοις τὴν διάγνωσιν, πότερός ἐστι κρείττων λόγος, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων ἥψατο τῶν Λυσιείων, τὰς μὲν λεκτικὰς μαρτυρῶν τῷ ἀνδρὶ ἀρετάς, τῶν δὲ πραγματικῶν ἐπιλαμβανόμενος.
