αἰτίαν τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς
καὶ τιμωμένοις ἀνδράσιν ἀποκαλύπτονται, διὰ ταύτην καὶ τὸν ἐπώνυμον τῆς
τιμῆς θεὸν οὕτω προσκυνοῦσι;
‘διὰ τί τοὺς γονεῖς ἐκκομίζουσιν οἱ μὲν υἱοὶ συγκεκαλυμμένοι, αἱ δὲ
θυγατέρες γυμναῖς ταῖς κεφαλαῖς καὶ ταῖς: κόμαις λελυμέναις;᾽’ πότερον
ὅτι τιμᾶσθαι μὲν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀρρένων 1 δεῖ τοὺς πατέρας ὡς θεοὺς πενθεῖσθαι δ᾽ ὑπὸ τῶν
θυγατέρων 2 ὡς τεθνηκότας, ἑκατέρῳ τὸ οἰκεῖον ὁ νόμος ἀποδοὺς ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων
ἐποίησε τὸ ἁρμόττον: ἢ πένθους, μὲν οἰκεῖον τὸ μὴ σύνηθες,
συνηθέστερον δὲ ταῖς μὲν γυναιξὶν ἐγκεκαλυμμέναις, τοῖς δ᾽ ἀνδράσιν
ἀκαλύπτοις
