οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ πλαστικὴν καὶ ζωγραφίαν συνεργοὺς τῆς ἀπάτης προσπαρέλαβον, ἵνα χρωμάτων καὶ σχημάτων καὶ ποιοτήτων εὖ δεδημιουργημέναις ἰδέαις ὑπαγάγωνται τοὺς ὁρῶντας καὶ τὰς ἡγεμονίδας αἰσθήσεις ὄψιν καὶ ἀκοὴν δελεάσαντες, τὴν μὲν ἀψύχοις εὐμορφίαις, τὴν δ’ εὐφωνίᾳ ποιητικῇ, συναρπάσωσι τὴν ψυχὴν ἀβέβαιον καὶ ἀνίδρυτον αὐτὴν ἀπεργασάμενοι.
