Quotation
καὶ δὴ καὶ τῇ ἡμετέρᾳ πόλει τοσοῦτον νικώσῃ συνέβη τρόπον τινὰ ὀλισθεῖν: οὗ δὴ καθαρῶς ἐξεφάνη ὅσος τις ὁ παρ᾽ αὐτῆς τῆς Ἀσίας κόσμος ἦν, λέγω δὲ οὐχὶ τὴν μέχρι Μαιάνδρου πηγῶν, οὐδ᾽ ὅσην ὁ τῶν ἡγεμόνων ὑμῶν κλῆρος ὁρίζεται, ἀλλ᾽ ἣν ἐξ ἀρχῆς Ἕλληνες προσεῖπον Ἀσίαν, προσηγόρευον δὲ καὶ ἤπειρον διαφερόντως αὐτὴν τῶν τριῶν.
