βούλεται γὰρ τὸν ἀστεῖον οὐ μόνον κριτὴν εἶναι τῶν διαφερόντων, διακρίνοντα καὶ διαστέλλοντα ἐξ ὧν γίνεταί τινα καὶ τὰ γεννώμενα, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὸ τὸ δύνασθαι διακρίνειν δοκεῖν ἀναιρεῖν, ἀμῶντα τὸν ἀμητὸν καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν ἐπιβουλὴν ἀποτέμνοντα διὰ τὸ καὶ πεποιθέναι καὶ Μωυσεῖ λέγοντι πιστεύειν, ὅτι „μόνου τοῦ θεοῦ ἡ κρίσις ἐστί“ (Deut. 1, 17), παρ’ ὃν αἱ συγκρίσεις καὶ αἱ διακρίσεις τῶν ἁπάντων· ὑφ’ οὗ καλὸν ὁμολογεῖν ἡττᾶσθαι καὶ τῆς ἀοιδίμου νίκης εὐκλεέστερον.
