Ῥητέον δέ γε πρὸ τῶν ἄλλων ἁπάντων, ὅσην περὶ τῆς τοῦδε τοῦ γένους ξυστάσεως ἔριν καὶ διαμάχην ἐσχήκασιν. Οἱ μὲν γὰρ ἀΐδιον εἶναι τῶν ἀνθρώπων τὴν φύσιν εἰρήκασι καὶ τοῦδε τοῦ γένους ἀεὶ ἔμπλεων γεγενῆσθαι τὴν γῆν, οἱ δὲ ἐν τῇ Ἀττικῇ πρῶτον φῦναι ἀνθρώπους, ἄλλοι δὲ ἐν Ἀρκαδίᾳ τοῦτο γενέσθαι πρῶτον, ἕτεροι δ' αὖ πάλιν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ ἄλλαις δὲ πόλεσι πολλὴ περὶ τούτου φιλοτιμία γεγένηται.
