(12) Ταύτην δὲ τὴν δύναμιν ἓν τῶν πολιτῶν οἶδε γένος· ὃ δὴ λέγεται Xεί. ρωνος ἀπόγονον εἶναι· παραδίδωσι δὲ καὶ δείκνυσι πατὴρ υἱῷ, καὶ οὕτως ἡ δύναμις φυλάσσεται, ὡς οὐδεὶς ἄλλος οἶδε τῶν πολιτῶν· οὐχ ὅσιον δὲ τοὺς ἐπισταμένους τὰ φάρμακα μισθοῦ τοῖς κάμνουσι βοηθεῖν, ἀλλὰ προῖκα. Τὸ μὲν οὖν Πήλιον καὶ τὴν Δημητριάδα συμβέβηκε τοιαύτην εἶναι. 13. Ὅτι ἡ μὲν Ἑλλὰς ἀπὸ Πελοποννήσου τὴν ἀρχὴν λαμβάνει, ἣν μέχρι τοῦ Μαγνήτων ἀφορίζω στάμπου. Τάχα δὲ κτλ.
