τίνος γὰρ ἕνεκα, εἴποι τις ἄν; ἵνα ἐνδιαιτήσεις εὐαγώγους ἔχῃ; ὁ γὰρ κόσμος ἅπας αὐταρκέστατον ἐνδιαίτημα ἂν νομισθείη θεῷ τῷ πανηγεμόνι; ἢ οὐχὶ μυρίων καὶ ἄλλων δόξαι ἂν ὑστερίζειν, ὡς πρὸς ὑποδοχὴν τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως ἀξιόχρεων ὑποληφθῆναι; χωρὶς τοῦ μηδὲ εὐαγὲς εἶναι οἴεσθαι τὸ αἴτιον ἐν τῷ αἰτιατῷ περιέχεσθαι [τῷ] μηδὲ τὰ δένδρα τοὺς ἐτησίους δήπου φέρειν καρπούς.
