[13] οὐ γὰρ δὴ οὐκ εἰσὶ καὶ νῦν ἕτοιμοι
κωμῳδεῖσθαι καὶ Σαβαῖοι καὶ Λυκάμβαι, πρὸς δέ γε τὸ τραγῳδεῖσθαι οὐκ ἂν οὐδὲ νῦν ἐνσταίη οὔτε ὁ Θυέστης οὔτε ὁ Οἰδίπους οὔτε ὁ Φινεὺς ἐκεῖνος , οὐδ’ ἂν, οἶμαι, φθονήσαιεν οὐδενὶ ἐπιθυμοῦντι φιλίας τῆς τῶν θεῶν, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἄν μοι δοκοῦσιν ἐκεῖνοι , εἰ ᾔσθοντο ὅτι ἔσοιτό τις Εὐριπίδης 5 ἀνὴρ
ἐπὶ τῷ διασκευάσαι αὐτοὺς γενόμενος θεοφιλὴς, ἐμελῆσαι b ἂν τῶν κακῶν ἐκείνων, καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ τὸ κρείττονα φρονεῖν, ἀλλ’ ἐπὶ τὸ μετροποιεῖν τραπέσθαι·
