φέρεται δὲ ὡς ἐφ’ ἁρματείου δίφρου μετέωρος ὑπό τε τῶν πραγμάτων καὶ τῶν ὄχλων εἰς ὕψος αἰρόμενος, καὶ μάλισθ’ ὅταν κατὰ νοῦν ἕκαστα μικρὰ καὶ μεγάλα χωρῇ, μηδενὸς ἀντιπνέοντος μηδ’ ἀντιστατοῦντος, ἀλλ’ ὡς ἐν εὐπλοίᾳ πάντων σωτηρίως ὑπὸ θεοῦ κυβερνωμένων. ὅν τε δίδωσιν ὁ βασιλεὺς δακτύλιον, ἐναργέστατον δεῖγμα πίστεώς ἐστιν, ἣν πεπίστευκεν ὅ τε βασιλεὺς δῆμος τῷ πολιτικῷ καὶ ὁ πολιτικὸς τῷ βασιλεύοντι δήμῳ.
