μετὰ τοῦτο ἔργον ἐστὶν ἱστορικοῦ διελέσθαι τε
καὶ τάξαι τῶν δηλουμένων ἕκαστον ἐν ᾧ δεῖ τόπῳ.
πῶς οὖν ἑκάτερος διαιρεῖται καὶ τάττει τὰ λεγόμενα;
Θουκυδίδης μὲν τοῖς χρόνοις ἀκολουθῶν, Ἡρόδοτος
δὲ ταῖς περιοχαῖς τῶν πραγμάτων. καὶ γίγνεται Θουκυδίδης μὲν ἀσαφὴς καὶ δυσπαρακολούθητος: πολλῶν
γὰρ κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ θέρος ἢ τὸν αὐτὸν χειμῶνα γιγνομένων ἐν διαφόροις ὡς εἰκὸς τόποις, ἡμιτελεῖς τὰς
πρώτας πράξεις καταλιπὼν ἑτέρων ἅπτεται τῶν κατὰ
θέρος ἢ τὸν αὐτὸν χειμῶνα γιγνομένων: πλανώμεθα
δὴ καθάπερ εἰκός, καὶ δυσκόλως τοῖς δηλουμένοις
