ὁ δ’ ἐγγυτέρω τἀληθοῦς προσάγων τὸν λόγον τὰ ἄλογα τῶν λογικῶν διέζευξεν, ὡς ἀνθρώποις μόνοις μαρτυρῆσαι τὸ ὁμόφωνον. ἔστι δέ, ὥς γέ φασι, καὶ τοῦτο μυθῶδες. καὶ μὴν τήν γε φωνῆς εἰς μυρίας διαλέκτων ἰδέας τομήν, ἣν καλεῖ γλώττης σύγχυσιν, ἐπὶ θεραπείᾳ λέγουσιν ἁμαρτημάτων συμβῆναι, ὡς μηκέτ’ ἀλλήλων ἀκροώμενοι κοινῇ συναδικῶσιν, ἀλλὰ τρόπον τινὰ [ἄλλοι] ἀλλήλοις κεκωφωμένοι * * * κατὰ συμπράξεις ἐγχειρῶσι τοῖς αὐτοῖς.
