Quotation
προσέτι τῇ ἄλλῃ περινοίᾳ κεκοσμημένον, ἀφόδων μὲν ἀναγκαίων δυσὶν ἀναχωρήσεσιν, ἐξόδοις δὲ πολλαῖς τεθυρωμένον, ὡρῶν δὲ διττὰς δηλώσεις, τὴν μὲν δι᾽ ὕδατος καὶ μυκήματος, τὴν δὲ δι᾽ ἡλίου ἐπιδεικνύμενον. ταῦτα ἰδόντα μὴ ἀποδοῦναι τὸν πρέποντα ἔπαινον τῷ ἔργῳ οὐκ ἀνοήτου μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀχαρίστου, μᾶλλον δὲ βασκάνου μοι εἶναι ἔδοξεν.
