ὅτι, οἶμαι, ἡ ἀσέβεια κακόν ἐστιν ἀτελεύτητον, ἐξαπτόμενον καὶ μηδέποτε σβεσθῆναι δυνάμενον, ὡς τὸ ποιητικὸν ἁρμόττειν ἐπὶ κακίας εἰπεῖν· ἡ δέ τοι οὐ θνητή, ἀλλ’ ἀθάνατον κακόν ἐστιν, ἀθάνατον δ’ ἐν τῷ παρ’ ἡμῖν βίῳ, ἐπεὶ πρός γε τὴν ἐν θεῷ ζωὴν ἄψυχον καὶ νεκρὸν καὶ „κοπρίων“, ὡς ἔφη τις, „ἐκβλητότερον.“
