ἐκεῖνο μέντοι εὖ, ὅτι σοι οὐδὲν ἔμελεν εἴ τι ἄτοπον πείσεται ὑπ’ ἀμφιβόλου χρησμοῦ ἐπαρθεὶς ἐπ’ ἀλλοτρίαν ἀρχὴν , οὐδ’ εἰ πικροί τινες ἄνθρωποι καὶ δέον ἐπαινεῖν σε ἐπὶ τῷ τραχηλίσαι μαινόμενον ἄνθρωπον, καὶ προσεγκαλοῖεν ὡς οὐδὲ ἰσόρροπον φωνὴν ἀφέντα, ἵν ὀκνήσειεν καὶ βουλεύσαιτο ὁ Λυδός· ἀλλὰ ‘καταλῦσαι’ καθ’ ἴνα τρόπον ἔστι νοεῖσθαι πρὸς τῶν Ἑλλήνων , οὐ τὸ τῆς οἰκείας ἀρχῆς ἐκπεσεῖν, ἀλλὰ τὸ τὴν ἀλλοτρίαν περιποιήσασθαι.
