Ἑρμότιμος
οὕτω: δικαιότατα γὰρ ἐπιπλῆξαι δοκεῖ μοι.
Λυκῖνος
καὶ γὰρ ἔμοιγε, ὦ Ἑρμότιμε. ἀλλὰ τὸ μετὰ
[p. 355]
τοῦτο οὐκέτ᾽ οἶδα εἰ ὁμοίως καὶ σοὶ δόξει: ἐμοὶ μὲν γὰρ
τοῦτο καὶ πάνυ δοκεῖ.

τοιαῦτα ἄττα εἰκὸς ἐρεῖν αὐτούς. ἢ τάχ᾽ ἄν τις αὐτῶν
καὶ προσέροιτό με, Εἰπέ μοι, λέγων, ὦ Λυκῖνε, εἰ
τις Αἰθίοψ μηδεπώποτε ἄλλους ἀνθρώπους ἰδών, οἷοι
ἡμεῖς ἐσμεν, διὰ τὸ μὴ ἀποδεδημηκέναι τὸ παράπιν, ἔν
τινι συλλόγῳ τῶν Αἰθιόπων διισχυρίζοιτο καὶ λέγοι μηδαμόθι
τῆς γῆς ἀνθρώπους εἶναι λευκοὺς ἢ ξανθοὺς μηδὲ
ἄλλο τι ἢ μέλανας, ἆρα πιστεύοιτ᾽ ἂν ὑπ᾽ αὐτῶν; ἢ εἴποι
τις ἂν πρὸς αὐτὸν τῶν πρεσβυτέρων Αἰθιόπων, Σὺ
δὲ δὴ πόθεν ταῦτα, ὦ θρασύτατε, οἶσθα; οὐ γὰρ ἀπεδήμησας
παρ᾽ ἡμῶν οὐδαμόσε οὐδὲ εἶδες νὴ Δία τὰ παρὰ
τοῖς ἄλλοις ὁποῖά ἐστι. φαίην ἂν ἔγωγε δίκαια ἐρωτῆσαι
τὸν πρεσβύτην; ἢ πῶς, ὦ Ἑρμότιμε, συμβουλεύεις;
