ΠΕΤΡῼ ΣΧΟΛΑΣΤΙΚῼ. Τῶν τὸ δίκαιον περὶ πολλοῦ ποιουμένων οὐδὲν ἱκανὸν ἐπισχεῖν τὸν ἐπαινούμενον τοῦτον σκοπόν. Βεβαιοῖ δὲ τὸν λόγον ἡ σὴ μεγαλοπρέπεια, ἀχθεσθεῖσα μὲν ἐπὶ τὰ πρώην ἀναγγελθέντα, οὐκ ἀνασχομένη δὲ παριδεῖν τὸ δίκαιον πολεμούμενον, ἀλλ' εἰς καιρὸν τὴν ἀθυμίαν ἀπορρίψασα, καὶ τὸν τῆς ἀληθείας ἐχθρὸν ἐνδίκως ἐπιστομίσασα. Ταῦτα μεμαθηκότες, θερμότερον περὶ τὴν σὴν διετέθημεν μεγαλόνοιαν, δεινότητι ῥητορικῇ φιλοσοφίαν ἀληθῆ κεκραμένην εὑρόντες, καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν σπουδαιότερον, καὶ τοῦ βελτίστου καταλῦσαι τὸ ψεῦδος, καὶ τὴν τῶν ἀθλίων πενήτων κρατῦναι παραψυχήν.
