ἑώρας ἀγοράν τε θεῶν ἑστίαν καὶ λιμένας, τῇ μὲν κυκλουμένους τὴν πόλιν, τῇ δὲ ὑπὸ τῆς πόλεως μέσους ἐχομένους: καὶ ναῶν κάλλη καὶ περιβόλους, ἐξ ἴσου τῇ τε φύσει καὶ τέχνῃ κεκοσμημένα, καὶ πάντα δὴ τὸν κόσμον τῶν ὅρμων ὡς ἐξήρτηντο ἀλλήλων: καὶ τὸ δὴ μέγιστον σύμβολον τῆς πόλεως, τὴν διὰ πάντων ὁμολογίαν καὶ μουσικὴν ἕν τι τὸ πᾶν σῶμα ἀποφαίνουσαν, ὥσπερ ἂν εἰ κατὰ τὸν μῦθον τὸν περὶ τοῦ Θηβαίων τείχους λεγόμενον πρὸς λύραν καὶ κιθάραν ἥρμοστο ἐξ ἀρχῆς.
