ἀλλὰ τοσούτῳ πλέον ἡμῶν ἀπέχεις τοῦ πιστὰ λέγειν, ὅσον ἐγὼ μὲν οὐδενὸς αὐτὸν αἰτιῶμαι τῶν ἀδυνάτων ἀλλὰ νόμων καὶ πολιτείας, αἵπερ εἰσὶ πράξεις τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν καλῶν κἀγαθῶν· σὺ δὲ τοιούτων δημιουργὸν ἀποφαίνεις, ὧν οὐδέτερον οὐδεὶς ἂν ἀνθρώπων ποιήσειεν, ἀλλὰ τὸ μὲν τῆς τῶν θηρίων ὠμότητος, τὸ δὲ τῆς τῶν θεῶν δυνάμεως ἔργον ἐστίν.
