ὥσθʼ οἷόν τʼ εἶναι περὶ τῶν αὐτῶν πολλαχῶς ἐξηγήσασθαι, καὶ τά τε μεγάλα ταπεινὰ ποιῆσαι καὶ τοῖς μικροῖς μέγεθος περιθεῖναι, καὶ τά τε παλαιὰ καινῶς διελθεῖν καὶ περὶ τῶν νεωστὶ γεγενημένων ἀρχαίως εἰπεῖν, οὐκέτι φευκτέον ταῦτʼ ἐστὶ περὶ ὧν ἕτεροι πρότερον εἰρήκασιν, ἀλλʼ ἄμεινον ἐκείνων εἰπεῖν πειρατέον.
