μέγιστος δὲ ὢν καὶ ὑψηλότατος, καίτοι ἐν χθαμαλωτέρῳ κείμενος, τῶν περιμηκεστάτων ὀρῶν οὐδενὸς ἀποδεῖ. τὰ μὲν οὖν ἐν οἰκοδομίαις ὑπερβολὰς ἔχοντα περίβλεπτά τ’ ἐστὶ καὶ θαυμάζεται πρὸς τῶν ὁρώντων καὶ μάλιστα τῶν ἐπιφοιτώντων ξένων, οἳ συγκρίνοντες ταῖς οἰκιῶν δημοσίων κατασκευαῖς ἐκπλήττονται τό τε κάλλος ὁμοῦ καὶ τὴν πολυτέλειαν.
