ἀλλὰ τούτων ἀπάντων τῶν ἀνδρῶν καὶ τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων κατεγέλα, ὥσπερ ἡμεῖς τῶν σμικρῶν παίδων, ἐπειδὰν ὁρῶμεν αὐτούς περὶ ἀστραγάλους σπουδάζοντας, τύπτοντας καὶ τυπτομένους, ἀφαιροῦντας καὶ ἀφαιρουμένους· αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλέως ἀφόβου καὶ ἐλευθέρου δίαιταν διαιτώμενος, οὐκ ἐπιτρίβων ἐν χειμῶνι Βαβυλωνίους, οὐδὲ Μήδοις ἐνοχλῶν ὥρᾳ θέρους, ἀλλʼ ἐκ τῆς Ἀττικῆς ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσθμόν, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰσθμοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀττικὴν αὖθις ὁμοῦ ταῖς ὥραις μετανιστάμενος.
