[22] ῾απλῶς δὲ κοινὸν εἶναι τὸ σύγγραμμα τοῦτο δεῖ καὶ πολιτικὸν καὶ δημωφελὲς ὁμοίως ὥσπερ τὴν τῆς ἱστορίας γραφήν. κἀκεῖ δὲ πολιτικὸν λέγομεν οὐχὶ τὸν παντάπασιν ἀπαίδευτον, ἀλλὰ τὸν μετασχόντα τῆς τε ἐγκυκλίου καὶ συνήθους ἀγωγῆς τοῖς ἐλευθέροις καὶ τοῖς φιλοσοφοῦσιν: οὐδὲ γὰρ ἂν οὔτε ψέγειν δύναιτο καλῶς οὔτ᾽ ἐπαινεῖν, οὐδὲ κρίνειν ὅσα μνήμης ἄξια τῶν γεγονότων, ὅτῳ μηδὲν ἐμέλησεν ἀρετῆς καὶ φρονήσεως καὶ τῶν εἰς ταῦτα λόγων.
Strabo. ed. A. Meineke, Geographica. Leipzig: Teubner. 1877.
