τὸ γὰρ κάλλιστον ἔρεισμα τῆς ψυχῆς ἐξέκοψαν, τὴν περὶ τοῦ ζῶντος ἀεὶ θεοῦ προσήκουσαν ὑπόληψιν, ὥσπερ τε ἀνερμάτιστα σκάφη σαλεύουσιν ὧδε κἀκεῖσε διαφερόμενοι τὸν αἰῶνα, μηδέποτ’ εἰς λιμένα κατᾶραι μηδ’ ἐνορμίσασθαι βεβαίως ἀληθείᾳ δυνάμενοι, τυφλώττοντες περὶ τὸ θέας ἄξιον, πρὸς ὃ μόνον ὀξυδορκεῖν ἀναγκαῖον ἦν.
