πάθους, ἀλλ’ ὑποβολιμαίου καὶ νόθου, πρὸς τὴν θεωρίαν τῶν πραγμάτων, ¹ εἴποιμ’ ἂν αὐτοῖς, ἥκετε· ἐν ἴσῳ γὰρ ᾠήθητε τὰ ἀμπέλων ἢ ἐλαιῶν ἢ τῶν ὁμοιοτρόπων κτήματα τῶν ἐχόντων καὶ σοφῶν τὸν θεὸν κλῆρον λέγεσθαι, καὶ οὐκ ἐνενοήσατε ὅτι καὶ ζωγράφοις ζωγραφία καὶ συνόλως τέχνη τῷ τεχνίτῃ λέγεται κλῆρος, οὐχ ὡς γήινον κτῆμα, ἀλλ’ ὡς ὀλύμπιον ἀγώνισμα.
