Ὅτι γὰρ δὴ τούτοις ἁρμόττει τὰ παρὰ Πλάτωνος εἰρημένα, μάρτυς αὐτὸς μετὰ πλεῖστα εἰπών· «Ἄγροικον δὲ καὶ ἀπαίδευτον ὑπ' ἀσχολίας οὐδὲν ἧττον τῶν νομέων τὸν τοιοῦτον ἀναγκαῖον γίνεσθαι, σηκὸν ἐν ὄρει τὸ τεῖχος περιβαλλόμενον. Γῆς δὲ ὅταν μυρία πλέθρα ἢ εἴ τι πλέον ἀκούσῃ ὥς τις ἄρα κεκτημένος θαυμαστὰ πλήθη κέκτηται, πάνυ σμικρὰ δοκεῖ ἀκούειν εἰς ἅπασαν εἰωθὼς τὴν γῆν βλέπειν.»
