Ταῦτα μὲν οὑν ὧδε ἐχέτω. φέρε δὲ τούτοις προσθῶμεν καὶ δι’ ὧν αὖθις ὁ Ἀπόλλων θαυμάζει τὸν Ἀρχίλοχον , ἄνδρα παντοίαις κατὰ γυναικῶν αἰ- σχρορρημοσύναις καὶ ἀρρητολογίαις, ἃς οὐδ’ ἀκοῦσαί τις σώφρων ἀνὴρ ὑπομείνειεν ἂν, ἐν τοῖς οἰκείοις ποιήμασι κεχρημένον ’ καὶ τὸν Εὐριπίδην τῆς μὲν Σωκράτους διατριβῆς καὶ φιλοσοφίας ἐκπεσόντα, εἰσέτι δὲ καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τῆς θυμέλης τραγῳδούμενον· καὶ Ὃμηρον ἐπὶ τούτοις, ὃν ὁ γενναῖος Πλάτων’ ἐξωθεῖ τῆς ἑαυτοῦ πολιτείας ὡς κατ’ οὐδὲν ὠφέλιμον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἔσχατα τοὺς νέους λυμαινομένων λόγων ποιητὴν γεγενημένον. ἐφ’ οἷς πάλιν ὁ προδηλωθεὶς τὸν χρησμῳδὸν θεὸν ὧδέ πως σκώπτει
