καὶ μὴν οὐδʼ ἐκείνου ὅσιον ἀμνημονῆσαι, ὃς τοιάνδε ἀρχὴν ἤρξατο· ἔρχομαι ἐρέων περὶ Ῥωμαίων καὶ Περσέων, καὶ μικρὸν ὕστερον· ἔδεε γὰρ Πέρσῃσι γενέσθαι κακῶς, καὶ πάλιν· ἦν Ὀσρόης, τὸν οἱ Ἕλληνες Ὀξυρόην ὀνυμέουσι, καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ τοιαῦτα. ὁρᾷς; ὅμοιος αὐτὸς ἐκείνῳ, παρʼ ὅσον ὁ μὲν Θουκυδίδῃ, οὗτος δὲ Ἡροδότῳ εὖ μάλα ἐῴκει.
