Quotation
καταφρονεῖσθαι γὰρ οὐχ ὅταν αὐτῷ μὴ θύῃ τις, ἀλλ’ ὅταν ἀπειθεῖν δοκῇ. 6.148παρὰ δὲ τῶν οὐχ ὑποτασσομένων οὐδ’ ἀληθῆ καὶ μόνην τῷ θεῷ κεχαρισμένην θρησκευόντων θρησκείαν, οὔτ’ ἂν πολλὰ καὶ πιμελῆ καταθύσωσιν ἱερεῖα, οὔτ’ ἂν κόσμον ἀναθημάτων ἐξ ἀργύρου καὶ χρυσοῦ πεποιημένων προσφέρωσι, δέχεται ταῦτ’ εὐμενῶς, ἀλλ’ ἀποστρέφεται καὶ δείγματα τῆς πονηρίας οὐκ εὐσέβειαν ἡγεῖται.
