ἐν πόλεσιν οὖν καὶ ὁ πάντων ἐπιβουλότατος φύεται τῦφος, ὅν τινες τεθήπασι καὶ προσκυνοῦσι τὰς κενὰς δόξας σεμνοποιοῦντες διὰ χρυσῶν στεφάνων καὶ ἁλουργίδων καὶ πλήθους θεραπόντων καὶ ὀχημάτων, ἐφ’ ὧν οἱ λεγόμενοι μακάριοι καὶ εὐδαίμονες μετέωροι φέρονται, τοτὲ μὲν ὀρεῖς ἢ ἵππους καταζευγνύντες τοτὲ δὲ καὶ ἀνθρώπους, οἳ τὰ φορεῖα κατὰ τῶν αὐχένων ἀχθοφοροῦσι τὴν ψυχὴν
