4. Τῶν δʼ ἐνοικούντων οἱ μὲν αὐτῶν Ἀττικοὶ, οἱ δʼ Ἀθηναῖοι. Οἱ μὲν Ἀττικοὶ περίεργοι ταῖς λαλιαῖς, ὕπουλοι, συκοφαντώδεις, παρατηρηταὶ τῶν ξενικῶν βίων οἱ δʼ Ἀθηναῖοι μεγαλόψυχοι, ἁπλοῖ τοῖς τρόποις, φιλίας γνήσιοι φύλακες. Διατρέχουσι δέ τινες ἐν τῇ πόλει, λογογράφοι, σείοντες τοὺς παρεπιδημοῦντας καὶ εὐπόρους τῶν ξένων· οὃς ὅταν ὁ δῆμος λάβῃ, σκληραῖς περιβάλλει ζημίαις. Οἱ δὲ εἰλικρινεῖς Ἀθηναῖοι δριμεῖς τῶν τεχνῶν ἀκροαταὶ καὶ θεαταὶ συνεχεῖς.
