Καὶ Πύθων δ ̓ ὁ Βυζάντιος ῥήτωρ, ὡς Λέων ἱστορεῖ ὁ πολίτης αὐτοῦ, πάνυ ἦν παχὺς τὸ σῶμα· καὶ Βυζαντίοις ποτὲ στασιάζουσι πρὸς ἀλλήλους τοῖς πολίταις παρακαλῶν εἰς φιλίαν ἔλεγεν, «Ὁρᾶτέ με, ἄνδρες πολῖται, οἷός εἰμι τὸ σῶμα· ἀλλὰ καὶ γυναῖκα ἔχω πολλῷ ἐμοῦ παχυτέραν. Ὅταν οὖν ὁμονοῶμεν, καὶ τὸ τυχὸν ἡμᾶς σκιμπόδιον δέχεται· ἐὰν δὲ στασιάσωμεν, οὐδὲ ἡ σύμπασα οἰκία.»
