‘ οὐ πάντων ὁμοίως
ἐπιμέλεται 1 τῶν ὑπ᾽ αὐτὸ τὸ 2 γένος, ἀλλ᾽ ἀεὶ τιν᾽ ἄριστον ἐξαιρῶν
καὶ ἀποκρίνων [p. 534] καθ᾽ αὑτὸν ἀσκεῖ καὶ τρέφει καὶ
ἀγαπᾷ διαφερόντως: οὕτω 3 καὶ ἡμῶν οἱ ὑπὲρ ἡμᾶς, τοὺς βελτίστους
οἷον ἐξ ἀγέλης χαράξαντες, ἰδίας τινὸς καὶ περιττῆς παιδαγωγίας
ἀξιοῦσι, οὐχ ὑφ᾽ ἡνίας οὐδὲ ῥυτήρων
ἀλλὰ λόγῳ διὰ συμβόλων εὐθύνοντες: ὧν οἱ πολλοὶ καὶ ἀγελαῖοι
παντάπασιν ἀπείρως ἔχουσιν. οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ πολλοὶ κύνες τῶν θηρατικῶν
σημείων οὐδ᾽ οἱ πολλοὶ ἵπποι τῶν ἱππικῶν συνιᾶσιν 4 ἀλλ᾽ οἱ
μεμαθηκότες, εὐθὺς ἀπὸ σιγμοῦ τοῦ τυχόντος ἢ ποππυσμοῦ
