πευσόμεθα οὖν καὶ ἡμεῖς, ἀπὸ ποίας συνηθείας λαμβάνετε τὸ ὅμοιον καὶ τὸ ἀνόμιοιον ; πολλαὶ γάρ εἰσι καὶ πολλάκις μαχόμεναι. ὅπερ δὲ ἀπολογούμενοι πρὸς τοῦτο ἐρεῖτε, τοῦτο καὶ παρʼ ήμιῶν ἀκούσεσθε. καὶ πάλιν ὅταν λέγητε τὸν βαρβαρισμὸν πα- ράπτωσιν ἐν ἁπλῇ λέξει παρὰ τὴν συνήθειαν, ἀνταπορή- σομεν λέγοντες ποίαν φατέ πολλῶν οὐσῶν, καὶ ᾖ ἂν εἴ- πητε, ταύτῃ φήσομεν καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀκολουθεῖν.
