ὅπερ εὔηθες δεῖ γὰρ ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῶν παρʼ ἡμᾶς γινομένων τοὺς ἐπαίνους ἕλκειν καὶ ψόγους, εὐγέ- νεια δὲ καὶ εὐτυχία κάλλος τε καὶ πολυτεκνία καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτα οὐκ ἐστι παρʼ ἡμᾶς γινόμενα, ὥστε οὐκ ἐπαινε- τέον ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, ἐπεί τοί γε εἰ ψιλῶς ἐπαινετέον τὴν εὐγένειάν ἐστι καὶ πολυτεκνίαν καὶ πᾶν τοιουτῶδες, ἐπ- αινετέος καὶ Βούσιρις καὶ Ἄμυκος καὶ Ἀνταῖος οἱ ξενο- κτόνοι, ὅτι Ποσειδῶνος ἧσαν υἱεῖς, ἐπαινετὴ δὲ καὶ ἡ Νιόβη, ὅτι πολύτεκνος.
