[191] ἐξέσται δὲ προσελθεῖν ἢ διᾶραι τὸ στόμα περὶ προσευχῶν τῷ λυμεῶνι τοῦ πανιέρου; δῆλον γὰρ ὡς οὐ φροντιεῖ τῶν ἀφανεστέρων καὶ τιμῆς
ἐλάττονος ἠξιωμένων ὁ τὸν περισημότατον καὶ ἐπιφανέστατον νεών, εἰς ὃν ἀνατολαὶ καὶ δύσεις ἀποβλέπουσιν ἡλίου τρόπον πανταχόσε λάμποντα, καθυβρίζων.

For it is quite evident that he will pay no regard whatever to things of less importance and which are held in inferior estimation, when he behaves with insolence and contempt towards our most beautiful and renowned temple, which is respected by all the east and by all the west, and regarded like the sun which shines everywhere.
