εἶναι καὶ ξυνετὰ πᾶσιν καὶ κεχαρισμένα ἑκάστοις, ἐνθυμηθεὶς δέ, ὅτι ὀλίγον μὲν τὸ ξυνετὸν ἐν ἅπαντι, τὸ δὲ πολ δημαγωγεῖσθαι φιλεῖ, οὐδετέρῳ τῷ γένει ἀποκεκριμένην τὴν ποίησιν ἐξειργάσατο· καθάπερ ὁ Ἡσίοδος, χωρὶς μὲν τὰ γένη τῶν ἡρώων, ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἀρχόμενος καταλέγων τὰ γένη, ὅστις ἐξ ἧς ἔφυ· χωρὶς δὲ αὐτῶν πεποίηνται οἱ θεῖοι λόγοι, ἅμα τοῖς λόγοις θεογονία· χωρὶς δʼ αὖ ὠφελεῖ τὰ εἰς τὸν βίον.
