[110] τὸ μὲν οὖν ἐπὶ τιμῇ τοῦ σπουδαίου καὶ ταῦτα γίνεσθαι παντί τῳ δῆλον, λέγεται δ’ οὐ δι’ ἐκεῖνο μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ διὰ τὴν ἐν τοῖς πράγμασιν εὐάρμοστον ἀκολουθίαν· τὸν γὰρ ἀγαθὸν καὶ ὁ ἐπαινῶν ἐγκωμιαστὸς καὶ ὁ ψέγων ἔμπαλιν ψεκτός. ἔπαινον δὲ καὶ ψόγον οὐχ ¹ οὕτως ἡ τῶν λεγόντων καὶ γραφόντων πιστοῦται δύναμις, ὡς ἡ τῶν γινομένων ἀλήθεια· ὥστ’ οὔτε ἐπαινεῖν οὔτε ψέγειν ἂν δοκοῖεν, ὅσοι τι ψεῦδος ἐν ἑκατέρῳ παραλαμβάνουσιν εἴδει.

[110] Now that this is said by way of doing honour to the good man, is plain to every one. And this, too, is not the only reason why it is said, but it is said also on account of the harmonious consequence which exists in things; for he who praises a good man is himself worthy of encomium, and he who blames him is, on the other hand, deserving of blame. But it is not so much the power of those who utter or who write praise or blame that is trusted to, as the real character of what is due; so that those persons would not really appear to praise or to blame at all who, in either case, adopt or introduce any falsehood of their own.
