ὁ δὲ τοὺς πεπρακότας θεασάμενος εὐθὺς ἐγνώρισεν ἅπαντας ὑπὸ μηδενὸς αὐτὸς γνωρισθεὶς τὸ παράπαν, μὴ βουληθέντος πω τοῦ θεοῦ τἀληθὲς ἀναφῆναι διά τινας ἀναγκαίας αἰτίας, ἃς τότε βέλτιον ἦν ἡσυχάζεσθαι, ἀλλ’ ἢ τὴν ὄψιν ἀλλάξαντος εἰς σεμνότερον εἶδος τοῦ τὴν χώραν ἐπιτραπέντος ἢ παρατρέψαντος τὰς ἀκριβεῖς καταλήψεις τῆς διανοίας τῶν ὁρώντων.
