a. φαντὶ δ᾿ ἀνθρώπων παλαιαὶ ῥήσιες: οὔπω γὰρ τῶν ἱστοριογράφων ὄντων οἱ κατὰ καιροὺς ποιηταὶ παρὰ τῶν ἐν ταῖς πόλεσι λογίων καὶ γεγηρακότων, οἷς ὁ χρόνος τὸ ἀκριβὲς τῆς γνώσεως ἐμαρτύρει, τὰς ἱστορίας κατακούοντες ἐμάνθανον. b. λέγει δὲ τοιοῦτόν τι· καθ᾿ ὃν χρόνον οἱ θεοὶ τὸν ὅλον κόσμον πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς διεμερίζοντο, ἀπόντος τοῦ Ἡλίου καὶ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ διανύοντος δρόμον, οὐδὲ εἷς τῶν θεῶν ὑπέμνησεν ὥστε καὶ αὐτῷ τοῦ κόσμου μερίδα φυλαχθῆναι. οὐδέπω δὲ ἡ Ῥόδος ἦν ἐκ θαλάσσης ἀναδοθεῖσα· διὸ καὶ ἀκλήρωτος μείνας ὁ θεὸς ταύτην εἵλετο τὴν μερίδα, ἱερὰν αὑτῷ τὴν νῆσον ἐπιτρεψάμενος.
