καὶ μὴν οὐ ταῦτα μόνον τοῖς ποιηταῖς δεξιῶς εἰρῆσθαι φαίνεται ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ περὶ θεῶν, οἷόν ἐστι καὶ τὸ παρὰ τῷ Κὑριπίδῃ λεχθὲν ἐν Φρρίξῳ (fr. 235 2auck) ὅστις δὲ θνητῶν οἴεται καθʼ ἡμέραν κακόν τι πράσσων τοὺς θεοὺς λεληθέναι, δοκεῖ πονηρά, καὶ δοκῶν ἁλίσκεται ὅταν σχολὴν ἄγουσα τυγχάνῃ δίκη. ἀλλʼ εἴπερ ταῦτα καὶ τὰ τούτοις ἐοικόα χρειώδη ἐστί, λαμβάνεται δʼ οὐ χωρίς γραμματικῆς, ἔσται καὶ ἡ γραμ- ματικὴ τῶν βιωφελῶν.
