χρὴ δὲ τὴν διάνοιαν ὡς δι’ ἀναβαθμῶν ἐπὶ τὴν τοῦ παντὸς ἐπάγειν ἀρχήν. εἰς Δελφοὺς γεγόνασιν ἄνθρωποι τῶν λεγομένων ἐνδόξων, οἳ τοὺς εὐδαίμονας βίους ἐκεῖσε ἀνατεθείκασι. καθάπερ οὖν ἐξίτηλοι γραφαί, οὐ χρόνου μήκει μόνον [οὐ] διερρύησαν, ἀλλὰ καὶ καιρῶν ὀξείαις μεταβολαῖς ἐκπεπνεύκασιν, εἰσὶ δ’ οὓς οἷα χειμάρρου φορὰ πλημμύροντος ἐξαίφνης ἐπικλύσασα ἠφάνισεν.
