οἱ μὲν τοίνυν χαρακώματα καὶ τείχη προσλαμβάνοντες μικροῖς τισι καὶ θνητοῖς ὡς ἀληθῶς ἐπαύξουσι τὰς ἀρχὰς, οἱ δὲ ἀρετῆς καὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ φιλίας, οὕτω λαμπρὰ καὶ θαυμαστὰ πᾶσιν ἐξενεγκόντες ὁρᾶν παραδείγματα, οὗτοι τὴν νίκην ὡς ἀληθῶς ἐκ θεῶν κέκτηνται, οὗτοι τῷ ἀθανάτῳ στεφάνῳ κεκόσμηνται, τούτους καὶ θεῶν φίλους ὥσπερ ἀλλήλων εἰκὸς εἶναι καὶ ἀνθρώπων εὐεργέτας καθαρῶς νομίζεσθαι.
