''πλήθη, φησίν, ἔχομεν«. προβήσομαι δὴ μικρὸν αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τὸ πρό- >σθεν, ὡς ἂν τῶν τῆς μανίας πολέμων θεατὴς γένωμαι. αὐτός, ἔφην >ἐγὼ προβήσομαι, ὁ τοὺς τῶν ἀφρόνων πολέμους παύειν εἰωθὼς. >ἄγε δή, Ἄρες Ἄρειε, ἀσπίδων χρεία. μὴ σύ γε τοῦτο ποιήσας, ἱκε- >τεύομεν· ἐπισχέτω γοῦν σε ἡ τῆς Ἀφροδίτης ὁμιλία. ἀλλὰ γὰρ εἴθε >ὡς τοῖς ὄχλοις ἄριστα συνεκκροτεῖσθαι δοκεῖς, οὕτω σοι τῇ περὶ τὸν >Χριστὸν εὐσεβείᾳ προσῆν ἀκμάζειν.
