οἱ μὲν πρὸ ἡμῶν οὕτω κάρτα ἦσαν φιλομάντιες,
οἱ δὲ νῦν, οἱ μὲν αὐτέων ἀδύνατα εἶναι λέγουσιν
ἀνθρώποισι τέλος εὕρασθαι μαντικῆς: οὐ γὰρ
εἶναί μιν οὔτε πιστὴν οὔτε ἀληθέα, οὐδὲ τὸν Ἄρεα
ἢ τὸν Δία ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ἡμέων ἕνεκα κινέεσθαι,
[p. 368] ἀλλὰ τῶν μὲν ἀνθρωπηίων πρηγμάτων οὐδεμίην
ὤρην ἐκεῖνοι, ποιέονται οὐδ᾽ ἔστιν αὐτέοισιν πρὸς
τάδε κοινωνίη, κατὰ σφέας δὲ χρείῃ τῆς περιφορῆς
