παρακολουθοῦμεν ταραττομένης τῆς διανοίας. Ἡρόδοτος δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς Λυδῶν βασιλείας ἀρξάμενος καὶ
μέχρι τῆς Κροίσου καταβὰς ἐπὶ Κῦρον εὐθέως τὸν
καταλύσαντα τὴν Κροίσου ἀρχὴν μεταβαίνει, Αἰγυπτίων [p. 238]
τε ἄρχεται διηγημάτων καὶ Σκυθικῶν καὶ Λιβυκῶν,
τὰ μὲν ὡς ἀκόλουθα δηλῶν, τὰ δὲ ὡς ἐπιζητούμενα
προσαναλαμβάνων, τὰ δ᾽ ὡς χαριεστέραν ποιήσοντα
τὴν διήγησιν ἐπεισάγων: διεξελθών τε πράξεις Ἑλλήνων τε καὶ βαρβάρων ἔτεσιν ὁμοῦ διακοσίοις καὶ
εἴκοσι γενομένας ἐν ταῖς τρισὶν ἠπείροις καὶ παραγράψας ** τῆς Ξέρξου φυγῆς τὴν ἱστορίαν οὐ διέσπασε τὴν διήγησιν: ἀλλὰ συμβέβηκε τῷ μὲν μίαν
ὑπόθεσιν λαβόντι πολλὰ ποιῆσαι μέρη τὸ ἓν σῶμα,
τῷ δὲ τὰς πολλὰς καὶ οὐδὲν ἐοικυίας ὑποθέσεις προελομένῳ σύμφωνον ἓν σῶμα πεποιηκέναι.
