5. Οὕτως γὰρ ἄχει τὰ αὐτῶν συντάγματα ὡς ἀναγνόντα τὸν συνετὸν θαυμέζειν καὶ ἐκπλήττεσθαι καὶ ἀοριστεῖν εἰ ταῦτα οὕτως ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπων γενήσεται, οὐ μόνον τῶν δαθ' ἡμᾶς πόλιν κατοι- κούντων, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν μετὰ θηρῶν καὶ ὁμοίων θηρσὶ καὶ κτήνεοι * καὶ σχεδὸν εἰπεῖν τὰ κυνῶν καὶ ὑῶν πράττειν τολμώντων. φασὶ γὰρ δεῖν πάντως πᾶσαν χρῆσιν τούτων ποιεῖσθαι, ἵνα μὴ ἐξελθοῦσαι καὶ ὑστερήσασαί τινος ἔργου τούτου ἔνεκα καταστραφῶσιν εἰς σώματα πάλιν αἱ ψυχαὶ εἰς τὸ πρᾶξαι αὖθις ἅ μὴ ἔπραξαν.
