πρὶν γὰρ ἄρξωμαι διαλέγεσθαι, ἀπ’ ἀληθοῦς μὲν ἤρχετο τοῦ ‘‘ἡμέρα ἔστιν”, ἐπὶ ψεῦδος δὲ ἔληγε τὸ “ἐγὼ διαλέγομαι”. πάλιν τὸ οὕτως ἔχον “εἰ νὺξ ἔστιν, ἐγὼ διαλέγομαι”, ἡμέρας οὔσης καὶ σιωπῶντος ἐμοῦ κατὰ μὲν Φίλωνα ὡσαύτως ἀληθές, ἀπὸ γὰρ ψεύδους ἀρχόμενον ἐπὶ ψεῦδος λήγει, κατὰ δὲ τὸν Διόδωρον ψεῦδος· ἐνδέχεται γὰρ αὐτὸ ἀρξάμενον ἀπ’ ἀληθοῦς λῆξαι εἰς ψεῦδος νυκτὸς ἐπελθούσης, καὶ πάλιν ἐμοῦ μὴ διαλεγομένου ἀλλ’ ἡσυχάζοντος.
