Quotation
καὶ πρῶτόν γε ἐπειδὴ γυναικῶν καὶ κόσμου καὶ χρυσοῦ ἐκεῖνος ἐμνημόνευσεν, κἀμοὶ ἐπιτρέψατε χρήσασθαι τῷ παραδείγματι: φημὶ γὰρ οὖν καὶ γυναιξὶ καλαῖς οὐχ ὅπως συλλαμβάνειν ἐς τὸ εὐμορφότερον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐναντιοῦσθαι τὸν κόσμον τὸν πολύν, ὁπόταν τῶν ἐντυγχανόντων ἕκαστος ὑπὸ τοῦ χρυσοῦ καὶ τῶν λίθων τῶν πολυτελῶν ἐκπλαγεὶς ἀντὶ τοῦ ἐπαινεῖν ἢ ' χρόαν ἢ βλέμμα ἢ δειρὴν ἢ πῆχυν ἢ δάκτυλον, ὁ δὲ ταῦτ᾽ ἀφεὶς ἐς τὴν σαρδὼ ἢ τὸν σμάραγδον ἢ τὸν ὅρμον ἢ τὸ ψέλιον ἀποβλέπῃ, ὥστε ἄχθοιτο ἂν εἰκότως παρορωμένη διὰ τὸν κόσμον, οὐκ ἀγόντων σχολὴν ἐπαινεῖν αὐτὴν τῶν θεατῶν, ἀλλὰ πάρεργον αὐτῆς ποιουμένων τὴν θέαν.
