[302] ἑρμηνεύονται Ἀμορραῖοι λαλοῦντες, τὸ δὲ μέγιστον ἀγαθὸν ἀνθρώπῳ δωρηθὲν ὑπὸ φύσεως, τὸν λόγον, μυρίοι τῶν λαβόντων διέφθειραν ἀχαρίστως καὶ
ἀπίστως τῇ δούσῃ προσενεχθέντες. οὗτοι δέ εἰσιν οἱ γόητες, οἱ ¹ κόλακες, οἱ πιθανῶν σοφισμάτων εὑρεταί, p. 517 M. φενακίσαι καὶ παρακρούσασθαι μόνον εὖ εἰδότες, τοῦ ἀψευδεῖν οὐ πεφροντικότες. ἐπιτηδεύουσι μέντοι καὶ ἀσάφειαν, ἀσάφεια δὲ βαθὺ σκότος ἐν λόγῳ, κλέπταις δὲ συνεργὸν τὸ σκότος.

Such are flatterers, impostors, devisers of plausible sophistries, men who rather cultivate the skill to delude and to cheat, and who have no care to speak truly, and these men study indistinctness.
