Διὰ πολλὰ μὲν καὶ ἄλλα δίκαιόν ἐστι μετὰ σπουδῆς ἐξετάζειν τὴν γραμματικὴν τεχνολογίαν, μάλιστα δέ ἁπόντων διὰ τὸ ἐπʼ αὐτῇ κομᾶν καὶ μέγα φρονεῖν τοὺς γραμματικούς, ἀεὶ δὲ τῶν κατὰ τὰ λοιπὰ κοσμουμένων μαθήματα κατατρέχειν ὡς μηδέ τὴν κοινὴν τῶν Ἑλλήνων συνήθειαν ἐπισταμένων, καὶ ἔτι διὰ τό, εἴ ποτε θλίβοιντο ἐν ζητήσει, μὴ ἄλλην εὑρίσκειν πολλάκις ἀποφυγὴν εῖς τὸ περισπᾶν τοὺς συζητοῦντας αὐτοῖς ἢ τὸ ὅτι βάρβαρον ἢ σόλοικόν ἐστι τὸ ὑπʼ αὐτῶν λεχθέν.
