[4] λέγοντος γὰρ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναφωνοῦντος ἐπὶ ταῖς μεγάλαις πράξεσι καὶ παραλόγοις:

τῷ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἐπὶ φρεσὶ θῆκε θεὰ γλαυκῶπις Ἀθήνη:

ἀλλά τις ἀθανάτων τρέψεν φρένας, ὅς γ᾽ ἐνὶ θυμῷ
δήμου θῆκε φάτιν:

ἤ τι ὀϊσσάμενος ἢ καὶ θεὸς ὣς ἐκέλευε:

καταφρονοῦσιν ὡς ἀδυνάτοις πράγμασι καὶ μυθεύμασιν ἀπίστοις τὸν ἑκάστου λογισμὸν τῆς προαιρέσεως ἄπιστον ¹ καθιστάντος.
