[171] οἱ δὲ γελάσαντες τὰς ὀλοφύρσεις ἐκείνων καὶ δημοτελεῖς ἑορτὰς ἄγειν ψηφισάμενοι τὰς ἀποφράδας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ πένθη κατευωχηθέντες καὶ συνόλως p. 437 M. τὴν ἑτέρων κακοδαιμονίαν εὐδαιμονήσαντες, ὅταν ἄρξωνται κομίζεσθαι τὰ ἐπίχειρα τῆς
ὠμότητος, αἰσθήσονται διότι οὐκ εἰς ἀφανεῖς καὶ ἠμελημένους ἐξημάρτανον, ἀλλ’ εἰς εὐπατρίδας ἔχοντας ἐναύσματα τῆς εὐγενείας, ἀφ’ ὧν ἀναρριπισθέντων ἐξέλαμψεν ἡ πρὸ μικροῦ σβεσθεῖσα εὔκλεια.
