[12] πολλοὶ γὰρ ἐπ’ ἀκρόασιν ἥκοντές τινος οὐκ ἐληλύθασι ταῖς διανοίαις, ἀλλ’ ἔξω πλανῶνται καὶ μυρία περὶ μυρίων ἑαυτοῖς διεξέρχονται, τὰ συγγενικά, τὰ ὀθνεῖα, τὰ ἴδια, τὰ δημόσια, ὧν εἰκὸς ἦν ἐν τῷ παρόντι μὴ μεμνῆσθαι, πάνθ’ ὡς
ἔπος εἰπεῖν ἑξῆς συναριθμούμενοι, καὶ διὰ τὸν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς πολὺν θροῦν ἀδυνατοῦσι τοῦ λέγοντος ἀκροᾶσθαι· λέγει γὰρ ἐκεῖνος ὥσπερ οὐκ ἐν ¹² ἀνθρώποις, ἀλλ’ ἐν ἀψύχοις ἀνδριᾶσιν, οἷς ὦτα μέν ἐστιν, ἀκοαὶ δ’ οὐκ ἔνεισιν.

On the question, Who is the Heir of Divine Things First1KGreek (The works of Philo Judaeus, the contemporary of Josephus, volume 2. Yonge, C. D., translator. London: Henry G. Bohn, 1854.) — 12 focus

[12] for many persons when they have come to listen to some one, have nevertheless not come with their minds, but wander outside, ¹² and keep on thinking of thousands upon thousands of things within themselves, whether concerning their relations, or strangers, or themselves, which at that moment they ought not to remember at all, but which in short they, re-collecting to themselves in regular order, and thus by reason of the excessive tumult which they keep alive in themselves, they are unable to hear the speaker. For he speaks as if he were not among men, but among inanimate statues who have indeed ears, but no sense of hearing.
