ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐκοινώσατο τοῖς ἐν τέλει τὴν ὄψιν, οἳ δὲ ληρεῖν αὐτὸν οἷα δὴ ὑπέργηρων ὄντα νομίσαντες ἐν οὐδενὶ τὸ ῥηθὲν ἐποιήσαντο, αὐτὸς καθ̓ ἑαυτὸν λογισάμενος τὸ πρακτέον καὶ ταῖς θεοειδέσιν ἐννοίαις παιδαγωγούμενος, εἰκόνα τοῦ ἥρωος ἐν οἴκῳ μικρῷ δημιουργήσας ὑπέθηκε τῷ ἐν Παρθενῶνι καθιδρυμένῳ τῆς Ἀθηνᾶς ἀγάλματι, τελῶν δὲ τῇ θεῷ τὰ συνήθη κατὰ ταὐτὸν καὶ τῷ ἥρωϊ τὰ ἐγνωσμένα οἱ κατὰ θεσμὸν ἔπραττε.
