ὅσων ἐνέργεια τὸ τέλος. εἰ δὲ ἀχάριστον ὑπολήψεταί
τις ἐν τοῖς πολιτικοῖς λόγοις τὴν ἐκ τῆς συγκρίσεως
ἐξέτασιν καὶ καθ᾽ ἑαυτὸν ἕκαστον ἀξιώσει σκοπεῖν, [p. 224]
οὐδὲν κωλύσει τὸ αὐτὸ τοῦτο καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ἄλλων
ποιεῖν, καὶ μήτε ποίησιν ἀντεξετάζειν ἑτέρᾳ ποιήσει
μήθ᾽ ἱστορικὴν σύνταξιν ἑτέρᾳ συντάξει μήτε πολιτείαν
πολιτείᾳ μήτε νόμον νόμῳ, μὴ στρατηγὸν στρατηγῷ,
μὴ βασιλεῖ βασιλέα, μὴ βίῳ βίον, μὴ δόγματι δόγμα:
τοῦτο δ᾽ οὐκ ἄν τις συγχωρήσειε νοῦν ἔχων.
