Οὐ γὰρ δὴ μόνον οἱ ὀρθῶς βιοῦντες, ἀλλὰ πολλοὶ καὶ τῶν περὶ τὰ θέατρα μεμηνότων καὶ ἱπποδρομίας προσεχόντων, ὑπὸ τοῦ ζήλου πυρὸς σφοδροτέρου πυρωθέντες, πᾶσαν ἐκείνην ἀπέθεντο τὴν μανίαν καὶ κατ' αὐτῶν τῶν ξιφῶν σχεδὸν ἐπήδησαν, πρὸς ἄρχοντας παρρησιαζόμενοι, βασάνων καταφρονοῦντες, ἀπειλῶν καταγελῶντες, δεικνύντες ὅσον ἰσχύει ἀρετὴ καὶ πῶς ἔνι τὸν σφόδρα ἀπολλύμενον, μετανοήσαντα καὶ μεταστάντα αὐτῆς ἅψασθαι τῶν οὐρανῶν τῆς ἁψῖδος.
