ΠΕΡΙ ΑΓΓΕΛΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΤΩΝ ΚΑΛΟΥΜΕΝΩΝ ΘΕΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΡΙ ΤΩΝ ΠΟΝΗΡΩΝ ΔΑΙΜΟΝΩΝ. Τῶν σωμάτων ἐκεῖνα θαυμάζειν εἰώθαμεν, ὅσα ἀρτιμελῆ τε καὶ ἄπηρα, καὶ ὃν ἐξ ἀρχῆς παρὰ τῆς φύσεως ἔλαχεν ἀριθμόν, σῶον ἔχει καὶ ἄρτιον· ὅσοις δὲ τούτων ἐνδεῖ τι ἢ πλεονάζει, ταῦτα τέρατα προσαγορεύειν εἰώθαμεν. Καὶ τῆς ἀναρχίας δὲ καὶ τῆς πολυαρχίας ὡς βλαβερῶν κατηγοροῦντες, τὴν μοναρχίαν θαυμάζομεν καὶ τὴν Ὁμηρικὴν ἐπαινοῦμεν γνώμην, ἣ τοῦτον εἰσηγεῖται τὸν νόμον· οὐκ ἀγαθὸν γάρ φησι πολυκοιρανίη, εἷς κοίρανος ἔστω, εἷς βασιλεύς.
