A parte patris GLYCON SPYRIDION dixit: e)gw\ me\n a)/kwn dapanw=, su\ d' ou) pau/h|. AGROITAS MASSILIENIS longe uiuidiorem sententiam dixit quam ceteri Graeci declamatores, qui in hac controuersia tamquam riuales iocati sunt. Dicebat autem Agroitas inculta, ut scires illum inter Graecos non fuisse, sententiis fortibus, ut scires illum inter Romanos fuisse. Sententia quae laudabatur haec fuit: e)pi\ th=s a)swti/as tou=to diapefwnh/kamen: su\ me\n dapana=|s h(do/menos, e)gw\ de\ a)niw/menos. DAMAS SCOMBRVS: CTHTH MENNN a)swti/an a)swteu/h|.
