Quotation
ἕτερος δέ τις οὐκ ἀγεννὴς λόγος, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάνυ γενναῖος, ὥς φησι, καὶ μεταξύ μου λέγοντος ὑπέκρουε καὶ διακόπτειν ἐπειρᾶτο τὴν ῥῆσιν καὶ ἐπειδὴ πέπαυμαι, οὐκ ἀληθῆ ταῦτα λέγειν φησὶ με, ἀλλὰ θαυμάζειν, εἰ φάσκοιμι ἐπιτηδειότερον εἶναι πρὸς λόγων ἐπίδειξιν οἴκου κάλλος γραφῇ καὶ χρυσῷ κεκοσμημένον αὐτὸ γάρ που τοὐναντίον ἀποβαίνειν.
