iudicio, si solum illud est Atticum, ne Pericles quidem dixit
Attice, cui primae sine controversia deferebantur; qui si
tenui genere uteretur, numquam ab Aristophane poeta
fulgere tonare permiscere Graeciam dictus esset. Dicat

Lysias—quis enim id possit negare?—, dum intellegamus
hoc esse Atticum in Lysia, non quod tenuis sit atque
inornatus, sed quod non1 nihil habeat insolens aut ineptum;
ornate vero et graviter et copiose dicere aut Atticorum sit
aut ne sit Aeschines neve Demosthenes Atticus.
