κράτιστον οὖν ἐξ ἁπάντων τούτων, περὶ ὧν τὸ τελευταῖόν με διέβαλλον ἀποφηνάμενον ἃ δοκεῖ μοι, τότʼ ἤδη λέγειν περὶ ὦν ἐξ ἀρχῆς διενοήθην· οἶμαι γάρ, ἢν ἐξενέγκω γράψας καὶ ποιήσω φανερὰν ἣν ἔχω γνώμην περὶ τε τῆς παιδείας καὶ τῶν ποιητῶν, παύσειν αὐτοὺς ψευδεῖς πλάττοντας αἰτίας καὶ λέγοντας ὅ τι ἂν τύχωσιν.
