τοῦ χρώματος, ἆρά γ̓ οὐκ ἂν ἄτοπος εἴη; ὁ γὰρ
αὐτὸς καὶ Παγκράτην ἂν εἴποι ἀγνοεῖν τὸ χρωματικὸν γένος: ἀπείχετο γὰρ καὶ οὗτος ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ
πολὺ τούτου, ἐχρήσατο δ᾽ ἔν τισιν: οὐ δι᾽ ἄγνοιαν
οὖν δηλονότι, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὴν προαίρεσιν ἀπείχετο: ἐζήλου γοῦν, ὡς αὐτὸς ἔφη, τὸν Πινδάρειόν τε καὶ Σιμωνίδειον τρόπον καὶ καθόλου τὸ ἀρχαῖον καλούμενον :
ὑπὸ τῶν νῦν.
ὁ αὐτὸς δὲ λόγος καὶ περὶ Τυρταίου τε τοῦ Μαντινέως καὶ Ἀνδρέα τοῦ Κορινθίου καὶ Θρασύλλου τοῦ Φλιασίου καὶ ἑτέρων πολλῶν, οὓς
πάντας ἴσμεν διὰ προαίρεσιν ἀπεσχημένους χρώματὸς
