μοχθηροῦ θεὸς ὁ πάντων ἄριστος. εἰσὶ δ’ οἳ μηδὲ κερδαίνειν τι μέλλοντες ἔθει πονηρῷ κατακόρως καὶ ἀνεξετάστως ὀμνύουσιν ἐπὶ τοῖς τυχοῦσιν, οὐδενὸς ἀμφισβητουμένου τὸ παράπαν, τὰ μὲν αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ λόγῳ προσαναπληροῦντες ὅρκοις, ὡς οὐκ ἄμεινον ὂν ἀποκοπὴν ῥημάτων μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἀφωνίαν ὑποστῆναι παντελῆ· φύεται γὰρ ἐκ πολυορκίας ψευδορκία καὶ ἀσέβεια.
