ὡς οὖν καὶ δίκην λαβεῖν καὶ χάριν ἀποδοῦναι δυναμένην, τοὺς μὲν τοῖς χρήμασι προέχοντας ἀναθήμασι καὶ θυσίαις καὶ ταῖς ἄλλαις προσόδοις ἱλάσκεσθαι καὶ τιμᾶν αὐτὴν χρή, τοὺς δὲ φιλοσόφους πειρᾶσθαί τι λέγειν περὶ αὐτῆς ἄξιον τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ἐκείνῃ· τοῖς γὰρ πεπαιδευμένοις πρέπει τοιαύτας ποιεῖσθαι τὰς ἀπαρχάς.
