προσήκει δὲ τοὺς ἀπὸ θεῶν γεγονότας καὶ χρῆσθαι ταύταις μᾶλλον τῶν ἄλλων καὶ καταδεῖξαι τοῖς ἐπιγιγνομένοις, οὐκ ἔστιν ὅπως οὐ μαίνεσθαι δόξεις ἅπασι τοῖς ἀκούσασιν, οὕτως εἰκῇ καὶ παρανόμως οὓς ἂν τύχῃς ἐπαινῶν. ἔπειτʼ εἰ μὲν εὐλόγεις αὐτοὺς οὐδὲν ἀκηκοὼς τῶν ἐμῶν, ἐλήρεις μὲν ἄν, οὐ μὴν ἐναντία γε λέγων ἐφαίνου σαυτῷ·
