γὰρ ἂν τὰ αἴσχιστα τῶν ἐν ἀνθρώποις πραγμάτων τῷ μὴ προσήκοντι ὀνόματι ἐπικοσμοῦντες πλημμελοῖμεν ἂν εἰς τὸ ἀληθὲς αὐτό. Ποῦ γὰρ ἢ ἐν χρήμασιν κάλλος, τῷ 5 πάντων πραγμάτων ‘καλλίστῳ’; ἢ ἐν πολέμῳ, τῷ πάντων ἀβεβαιοτάτῳ; ἢ ἐν τυραννίδι, τῷ πάντων ἀγριωτάτῳ; ἢ ἐν χρυσῷ, τῷ πάντων γαυροτάτῳ; Σκελίαν δὲ εἴ μοι λέγοις, ἢ τὴν Ἑλλήνων γῆν, ἐλπίδας λέγεις ἡδονῶν, κάλλος δὲ οὐδαμοῦ·
