7 Καὶ αὐτοῦ δὲ τοῦ Πυθαγορικοῦ φιλοσοφου, τοῦ Νουμηνίου λέγω, ἀπὸ τοῦ πρώτου περὶ τἀγαθοῦ τάδε παραθήσομαι. Εἰς δὲ τοῦτο δεήσει εἰσιόνταᵃ, καὶ σημηνάμενον ταῖς μαρτυρίαις τοῦ Πλάτωνος, ἀναχωρῆσαί τε καὶ ξυνδῆσαιᵇ τοῖς λόγοις τοῦ Πυθαγόρου ἐπικαλέσασθαι δὲ τὰ ἔθνη τὰ εὐδοκιμοῦντα, προσφερόμενον αὐτῶν τὰς τελετάς, καὶ τὰ δόγματα, τάς τε ἱδρύσεις συντελουμένας Πλάτωνι ὁμολογουμένως, ὁπόσας Βραχμᾶνες καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ μάγοι καὶ Αἰγύπτιοι διέθεντο. Ταῦτα μὲν οὖν περὶ τῶνδε.
