TRIARII. Corrupisti duo maxima Promethei munera, ignem et hominem. Quemcunque praeco flentem uiderat sciebat emptorem, miserebantur omnes; et fortasse ipse Philippus reduci iussisset, etiamsi Atheniensem uidisset emptorem quod ego fabulosum esse non dubito. Sed utrum uult Parrhasius eligat: parum pie aut infamauit Iouem aut imitatus est. Clamabat iste: nondum satis tristis es, nondum satis, inquam, adiecisti ad priorem uultum. Talis in auctione Philippus.
