καὶ μὴν ὅσον ἐπὶ τῷ ὑπʼ Εὐριπίδου λεχθέντι περὶ θεῶν, τὴν αὐτὴν καὶ οἱ ἰδιῶται δόξαν ἔχουσιν. ἴσον γάρ ἐστι τῷ (Eurip. fr. 835 Nauck) ὅστις δὲ θνητῶν οἴεται τοὐφήμερον κακόν τι πράσσων τοὺς θεούς λεληθέναι, δοκεῖ πονηρά, καὶ δοκῶν ἁλίσκεται ὅταν σχολὴν ἄγουσα τυγχάνῃ δίκη καὶ τὸ οὕτω παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς λεγομενον· ἀψέ θεῶν ἀλέουσι μύλοι, ἀλέουσι δέ λεπτά μόνῳ δέ διενήνοχε τῷ μέτρῳ.
