Χρῆσις δὲ τῶν τοιούτων κώλων ἐπισφαλής. οὔτε γὰρ δεινῶς λέγοντι ἐπιτήδεια: ἐκλύει γὰρ τὴν δεινότητα ἡ περὶ αὐτὰ τερθρεία καὶ φροντίς. δῆλον δ̓ ἡμῖν τοῦτο ποιεῖ Θεόπομπος. κατηγορῶν γὰρ τῶν Φιλίππου φίλων φησίν, ῾ἀνδροφόνοι δὲ τὴν φύσιν ὄντες, ἀνδροπόρνοι τὸν τρόπον ἦσαν: καὶ ἐκαλοῦντο μὲν ἑταῖροι, ἦσαν δὲ ἑταῖραι.᾿ ἡ γὰρ ὁμοιότης ἡ περὶ τὰ κῶλα καὶ ἀντίθεσις ἐκλύει τὴν δεινότητα διὰ τὴν κακοτεχνίαν. θυμὸς γὰρ τέχνης οὐ δεῖται, ἀλλὰ δεῖ τρόπον τινὰ αὐτοφυᾶ εἶναι ἐπὶ τῶν τοιούτων κατηγοριῶν καὶ ἁπλᾶ τὰ λεγόμενα.
