    Aelius Aristides
    κόσμοι δὲ οἵ τε ἐν αὐτῇ καὶ οἱ περὶ αὐτὴν ἐξ ἴσου πολλοί τε καὶ λαμπροὶ καὶ ποθεινοτέρους οὐχὶ λελοιπότες... ποίας γραφῆς ἢ πλάσματος οὐ βελτίω ταῦτα μιμήσασθαι; ἀεὶ δὲ ὥσπερ εἰς πομπὴν ἐνιαύσιον κεκοσμημένη ταῖς τε ἰδίαις καὶ ταῖς δημοσίαις κατασκευαῖς ὡραΐζεται, σκηνῆς Μηδικῆς θέαμα ἁβρότερον... χάρις ὥσπερ Ἶρις τεταμένη καὶ τὴν πόλιν ὥσπερ λύραν ἁρμοττομένη σύμφωνον αὑτῇ τε καὶ τοῖς ἔξω κόσμοις, καὶ ἡ διὰ πάντων ὥσπερ τοῦ παρ᾽ Ὁμήρῳ χαλκοῦ μέχρι οὐρανοῦ διηνεκὴς αἴγλη, τῷ ταῦτα ἐφικτὰ διηγήσασθαι;
