κατὰ δὲ σχῆμα σχήματι ἀνειμένῳ: οὐ γὰρ διατεινόμενος ἂν ἐποίησεν, ὡς ἄν τις τῶν πολιτικῶν εἶπεν, οὐχὶ τὰ αὐτὰ παρίσταταί μοι γινώσκειν τοῖς πολλοῖς περὶ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν σπουδαίων: οἱ μὲν γὰρ πολλοὶ οὐκ ἄλλα τινὰ οἴονται [γὰρ] αὐτῶν ἀξιομνημόνευτα εἶναι ἐν τῇ σπουδῇ τὰ πραττόμενα, ἐμοὶ δὲ οὐ τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον: ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲν ἧττον δοκεῖ τὰ ἐν ταῖς παιδιαῖς μνήμης τυγχάνειν ἄξια, ἢ ἃ ἂν σπουδάζοντες πράττοιεν. οὐχ οὕτως οὖν προήγαγεν, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνειμένῳ τῷ σχήματι καὶ ἐξηλλαγμένως “ἀλλ᾽ ἔμοιγε δοκεῖ”, εἶτα κατὰ τὸ ἰδίωμα τοῦ λόγου ἤθους ἐχόμενα καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα “τῶν καλῶν καὶ ἀγαθῶν ἀνδρῶν”: καὶ πάλιν φησίν, [p. 518] “ὡς δὲ ἱπποδρομία ἔληξεν”. ἀνειμένον δὲ καὶ ἀναπεπτωκὸς εἶναι δοκεῖ τὸ σχῆμα, πολιτικὸς δ᾽ ἂν οὐχ οὕτως ἐποίησεν, ἀλλὰ συντονώτερον, ὅποι δὴ ἱπποδρομία ἔληξεν, ἢ τοιούτῳ τινὶ τρόπῳ.
