εἰ γὰρ ὁ μὲν ἐν τῇ ἀκίδι τοῦ τοξότου γεννηθεὶς κατὰ τὸν μαθηματικὸν σφαγήσεται λόγον, πῶς αἱ τοσαῦ- ται μυριάδες τῶν βαρβάρων ἀνταγωνιζόμεναι πρὸς τοὺς Ἕλληνας ἐν Μαραθῶνι ὑφʼ ἓν κατεσφάγησαν; οὐ γὰρ δή γε ἐπὶ πάντων ὁ αὐτὸς ἦν ὡροσκόπος. καὶ πάλιν 〈εἰ〉 ὁ ἐν τῇ κάλπιδι τοῦ ὑδροχόου γεννηθεὶς ναυαγήσει, πῶς οἱ ἀπὸ Τροίας ἀνακομιζόμενοι τῶν Ἐλλήνων περὶ τὰ κοῖλα τῆς Εὐβοίας συγκατεποντίσθησαν;
