οἱ μὲν γὰρ οὐδ᾽ ἡντινοῦν ἔχοντες ἀφορμὴν παρὰ τοῦ τόπου, οὐ λιμένας, οὐκ εἰκόνας, οὐ κόσμους, οὐ λίθους, ὡς εἰπεῖν, ἐν πολλῇ βουλῇ καὶ ἀπορίᾳ καταστάντες οἶμαι πρῶτον ποῖ ποτε τῆς χώρας οἰκήσουσιν, οὕτω ταύτην ἀπέδειξαν, καὶ τὸ μέγιστον ἁπάντων, πρὸς οὐδὲν ὑπάρχον παράδειγμα, ἀλλ᾽ εὑρόντες αὐτοὶ καὶ προθέντες πρῶτοι καθάπερ ὡς ἀληθῶς παράδειγμα πόλεως.
