ἀλλὰ γὰρ οὐχ [μετὰ τῆς χειρὸς] ὡς (μετὰ) διανοίας ἡμᾶς ἔβλαπτε — τἀληθῆ γὰρ εἰρήσεται — ἀλλὰ ἄλλως ἐμαίνετο καὶ τὸν Καλλιμάχου νεκρὸν ὁρῶν εὐδοκιμοῦντα ἐπεθύμει μετὰ ἄλλου σχήματος ἀπολέσαι τὴν ἀλαζόνα δεξιὰν ὅπως ἂν ἓν γένηται τῶν Μαραθωνίων διηγημάτων· ἡμεῖς δὲ οὔθʼ ἑκόντες οὔτε ἄκοντες οὐδὲν ἐβλάπτομεν.
