Πλάτων διδασκαλίαν ἐποιησάτην, ἀξιέπαινον ἀληθῶς καὶ λογικὴν καὶ τῇ φύσει τῇ ἀνθρωπίνῃ ξυμβαίνουσαν· τὰ γὰρ ἠθικὰ μαθήματα πάντας ἀνθρώπους ἡ φύσις ἐπαίδευσεν. Διαπλάσας γάρ τοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὸ γένος ὁ ποιητὴς ἐντέθεικε τῇ φύσει τὴν τῶν ἀγαθῶν καὶ τὴν τῶν ἐναντίων διάγνωσιν. Ὅθεν οὐ μόνον Σωκράτης καὶ Πλάτων καὶ Ἀριστείδης ὁ Λυσιμάχου καὶ ἄλλοι τινὲς τῶν Ἑλλήνων τὸν ἄδικον ἐβδελύξαντο βίον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν βαρβάρων πολλοί.
