μνήμαις ἀδιαστάτοις. μνῆμαι μὲν οὖν ἠνδρωμένοις ἤδη καὶ παγίοις συντυγχάνουσι, παρὸ καὶ νεώτεραι ἐνομίσθησαν ὀψὲ φυόμεναι· λήθη δὲ καὶ ἀνάμνησις ἐπαλλήλως σχεδὸν ἐκ πρώτης ἡλικίας ἑκάστῳ σύνεισιν, οὗ ἕνεκα τὰ χρόνου πρεσβεῖα εὕρηνται καὶ ἐπ’ εὐωνύμοις παρὰ σοφῷ ταξιαρχοῦντι τάττονται· τῶν δὲ ἀρετῆς αἱ μνῆμαι κοινωνήσουσι πρεσβείων, ἃς ὁ θεοφιλὴς δεξιωσάμενος τῆς ἀμείνονος παρ’ ἑαυτῷ μοίρας ἀξιώσει.
