Ὁ περὶ Πανδώρας οὐκ ἀνεκτὸς λόγος, ὡς ἐκ γῆς ἀναπλασθεῖσαν ἀναδοῦναι αὐτὴν καὶ ἄλλοις τὸ πλάσμα. ἐμοὶ δὲ οὐ δοκεῖ τοῦτο· ἀλλὰ Πανδώρα γυνὴ ἐγένετο Ἕλλην μάλιστα πλουσία, καὶ ὅτε ἐξίοι, ἐκοσμεῖτο καὶ ἐχρίετο πολλῇ τῇ γῇ. πρώτη γὰρ αὕτη ἐξεῦρε χρίεσθαι πολλῇ τῇ γῇ τὸ χρῶμα (ὡς καὶ νῦν πολλαί· ὀνομάζεται δὲ οὐδεμία διὰ τὸ πλεῖστον). καὶ τὸ μὲν ἔργον οὕτως ἔχει· ὁ δὲ λόγος ἐπὶ τὸ ἀμήχανον ἐτράπη.
