καὶ τὸ μὲν ἄνδρας ἰδιώτας καὶ ἀναφανδὸν τὴν ἀπαιδευσίαν ὁμολογοῦντας τὰ τοιαῦτα ποιεῖν,
μετριώτερον ἂν εἰκότως νομισθείη: τὸ δὲ καὶ τῶν
φιλοσοφεῖν προσποιουμένων πολλοὺς πολλῷ ἔτι τούτων γελοιότερα δρᾶν, τοῦτ᾽ ἤδη τὸ
δεινότατόν ἐστι. πῶς γὰρ οἴει τὴν ψυχὴν διατεθεῖσθαί μοι, ὅταν ἴδω τούτων τινά, μάλιστα τῶν προβεβηκότων, ἀναμεμιγμένον κολάκων ὄχλῳ καὶ τῶν
ἐπ᾽ ἀξίας τινὰ δορυφοροῦντα καὶ τοῖς ἐπὶ τὰ δεῖπνα παραγγέλλουσι κοινολογούμενον, ἐπισημότερον δὲ τῶν ἄλλων ἀπὸ τοῦ σχήματος
ὄντα καὶ φανερώτερον; καὶ ὃ μάλιστα ἀγανακτῶ, ὅτι μὴ καὶ τὴν σκευὴν μεταλαμβάνουσι, τὰ ἄλλα
γε ὁμοίως ὑποκρινόμενοι τοῦ δράματος.
