οὐ τοῖς πρόδηλον ἔχει τὴν αἰτίαν, ἀλλ’ οἱ μὲν τὰ θεῖα δυνάμει πνεύματος ἐνθέου πεφωτισμένοι ἴσασί τε καὶ γνωρίζουσι, καὶ σὲ τῆς ἐπὶ ταῦτα διανοίας τε καὶ ὁρμῆς οὐκ ἀθεεὶ κεκινημένης ἐνδίκως θαυμάζουσί τε καὶ μαδαρίζουσιν, οἱ δὲ τῶν θείων ἀγνώμονες ψυχῆς ἀβλεψίᾳ χλεύην καὶ γέλωτα πλατὺν τίθενται τὸ πρᾶγμα, νεκρῶν σωμάτων μνημεῖα καὶ τάφους τοσούτῳ βασιλεῖ σπουδάζεσθαι ἀπρεπὲς εἶναι καὶ ἀνοίκειον ὑπειληφότες.
