μεθ᾽ οὓς τὸ σοφιστῶν φῦλον οὐκ οἶδ᾽ ὅπως μοι παρενεφύετο, οὔτε ζηλοῦν τἀμὰ ἐς βάθος
[p. 66] οὔτε κομιδῇ ἀπᾷδον, ἀλλ᾽ οἷον τὸ Ἱπποκενταύρων γένος, σύνθετόν τι καὶ μικτὸν ^ ἐν μέσῳ ἀλαζονείας καὶ φιλοσοφίας πλαζόμενον, οὔτε τῇ ἀγνοίᾳ τέλεον προσεχόμενον οὔτε ἡμᾶς ἀτενέσι τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καθορᾶν δυνάμενον, ἀλλ᾽ οἷον λημῶντες ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀμβλυώττειν ἀσαφές τι καὶ ἀμυδρὸν ἡμῶν εἴδωλον ἢ σκιὰν ἐνίοτε ἰδόντες
ἄν: οἱ δὲ ᾤοντο ἀκριβῶς πάντα κατανενοηκέναι. ὅθεν παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς ἡ ἀχρεῖος ἐκείνη καὶ περιττὴ σοφία καί, ὡς αὐτοὶ ᾤοντο, ἀπρόσμαχος ἀνεφλέγετο, αἱ κομψαὶ καὶ ἄποροι καὶ ἄτοποι. ἀποκρίσεις καὶ δυσέξοδοι καὶ λαβυρινθώδεις ἐρωτήσεις.
