haec tractasse Thrasymachum Calchedonium
primum et Leontinum ferunt Gorgiam, Theodorum inde
Byzantium multosque alios, quos λογοδαιδάλους appellat in
Phaedro Socrates; quorum satis arguta multa, sed ut modo
primumque nascentia minuta et versiculorum similia quaedam nimiumque depicta. Quo magis sunt Herodotus
Thucydidesque mirabiles; quorum aetas cum in eorum
tempora quos nominavi incidisset, longissime tamen ipsi
a talibus deliciis vel potius ineptiis afuerunt. Alter enim
sine ullis salebris quasi sedatus amnis fluit, alter incitatior
fertur et de bellicis rebus canit etiam quodam modo bellicum;
primisque ab his, ut ait Theophrastus, historia commota
est, ut auderet uberius quam superiores et ornatius
dicere.
