Ἐπεὶ δὲ πρόκειται μετὰ τὴν ῥητὴν ἀπόδοσιν καὶ τὴν τροπικωτέραν ἐξετάζειν, λεκτέον ἃ χρὴ καὶ περὶ αὐτῆς. ἴσως μὲν οὖν γελάσονταί τινες τῶν εἰκαιοτέρων ἀκούσαντες· ἐγὼ δ’ ἐρῶ μηδὲν ὑποστειλάμενος, ὅτι ὁ πολιτικὸς πάντως ὀνειροκριτικός ἐστιν, οὐχὶ τῶν βωμολόχων οὐδὲ τῶν ἐναδολεσχούντων καὶ ἐνσοφιστευόντων ἐπὶ μισθῷ καὶ τὴν τῶν καθ’ ὕπνον φαντασιῶν διάκρισιν ἀργυρισμοῦ πρόβλημα πεποιημένων, ἀλλὰ τὸν κοινὸν καὶ πάνδημον καὶ μέγαν ὄνειρον οὐ κοιμωμένων μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐγρηγορότων εἰωθὼς ἀκριβοῦν.
