[13] τοσαύτη δὲ τοῖς ἐνθάδε ἀνθρώποις σπουδὴ πρός τε φιλοσοφίαν καὶ τὴν ἄλλην παιδείαν ἐγκύκλιον ἅπασαν γέγονεν ὥσθ᾽ ὑπερβέβληνται καὶ Ἀθήνας καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρειαν καὶ εἴ τινα ἄλλον τόπον δυνατὸν εἰπεῖν, ἐν ᾧ σχολαὶ καὶ διατριβαὶ φιλοσόφων γεγόνασι. διαφέρει δὲ τοσοῦτον ὅτι ἐνταῦθα μὲν οἱ φιλομαθοῦντες ἐπιχώριοι πάντες εἰσί, ξένοι δ᾽ οὐκ ἐπιδημοῦσι ῥᾳδίως: οὐδ᾽ αὐτοὶ οὗτοι μένουσιν αὐτόθι, ἀλλὰ καὶ τελειοῦνται ἐκδημήσαντες καὶ τελειωθέντες ξενιτεύουσιν ἡδέως, κατέρχονται δ᾽ ὀλίγοι. ταῖς δ᾽ ἄλλαις πόλεσιν ἃς ἀρτίως εἶπον πλὴν Ἀλεξανδρείας συμβαίνει τἀναντία: φοιτῶσι γὰρ εἰς αὐτὰς πολλοὶ καὶ διατρίβουσιν αὐτόθι ἄσμενοι, τῶν δ᾽ ἐπιχωρίων οὐ πολλοὺς οὔτ᾽ ἂν ἔξω φοιτῶντας ἴδοις κατὰ φιλομάθειαν, οὔτ᾽ αὐτόθι περὶ τοῦτο σπουδάζοντας: Ἀλεξανδρεῦσι δ᾽ ἀμφότερα συμβαίνει: καὶ γὰρ δέχονται πολλοὺς τῶν ξένων καὶ ἐκπέμπουσι τῶν ἰδίων οὐκ ὀλίγους ... καὶ εἰσὶ σχολαὶ παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς παντοδαπαὶ τῶν περὶ λόγους τεχνῶν, καὶ τἆλλα δ᾽ εὐανδρεῖ καὶ πλεῖστον δύναται τὸν τῆς μητροπόλεως ἐπέχουσα λόγον.
