d. τοῦτο δὲ προσφέρων ἄεθλον: ἑαυτῷ ὁ Πίνδαρος παρακελεύεται καί φησιν· ὅμως δὲ τοῦτο τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς σοφίας ἆθλον προσφέρων καὶ ἐκπληρῶν, τὸν ὕμνον, μέγα καὶ ὑπερφυὲς ἀναβόησον μετὰ εὐθαρσίας· τί δὲ ἀναβόησον; τοῦτον δαιμονίᾳ (λείπει μοίρᾳ) γεγενῆσθαι δυνατὸν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶ καὶ παντὶ τῷ σώματι ἐπιδέξιον κατὰ πᾶν μέλος· ἵνα κοῦφος ᾖ καὶ εὔστροφος καὶ ὁ λεγόμενος ὑγρὸς παλαιστής· ὃς καὶ τῷ βλέμματι ἀλκὴν καὶ δύναμιν ἐμφαίνει.
