οἱ τὸν Λαοδικέα Οὔαρον λόγων ἀξιοῦντες αὐτοὶ μὴ ἀξιούσθων λόγων, καὶ γὰρ εὐτελὴς καὶ διακεχηνὼς καὶ εὐήθης καὶ ἣν εἶχεν εὐφωνίαν αἰσχύνων καμπαῖς ᾀσμάτων, αἷς κἂν ὑπορχήσαιτό τις τῶν ἀσελγεστέρων· οὗ διδάσκαλον ἢ ἀκροατὴν τί ἂν γράφοιμι, τί δʼ ἂν φράζοιμι, εὖ γιγνώσκων, ὅτι μήτʼ ἂν τοιαῦτα διδάξειέ τις καὶ τοῖς μεμαθηκόσιν ὄνειδος τὸ τοιούτων ἠκροᾶσθαι;
