ἀλλ’ ὅτι καὶ Ἀριστοτέλης ταῦτα μαρτυρεῖ περὶ Πλάτωνος, διὰ τὴν τῆς φιλοσοφίας αἰδῶ μηδὲν ἂν ψευσάμενος, καὶ διότι πιστότερος οὐδεὶς ὑφηγητῇ γνωρίμου μαρτυρεῖν καὶ μάλιστα τοιούτου, ὃς οὐ πάρεργον ἔθετο παιδείαν ἁψικόρῳ ῥᾳθυμίᾳ, προσυπερβαλεῖν δὲ σπουδάσας τὰς τῶν παλαιῶν εὑρέσεις ἔνια τῶν ἀναγκαιοτάτων εἰς ἕκαστον φιλοσοφίας μέρος καινοτομήσας προσεξεύρετο.
