[8] ὥσπερ οὖν οἱ δευσοποιοὶ παρασκευάσαντες πρότερον θεραπείαις τισὶν ὅ τι ποτ̓ ἂν ᾖ τὸ δεξόμενον τὴν βαφήν, οὕτω τὸ ἄνθος ἐπάγουσιν, ἄν τε ἁλουργὸν ἄν τέ τι ἕτερον ᾖ, τὸν αὐτὸν δὴ καὶ ἡμεῖς τρόπον, εἰ μέλλοι ἀνέκπλυτος ἡμῖν ¹ ἅπαντα τὸν χρόνον ἡ τοῦ καλοῦ παραμένειν δόξα, τοῖς ἔξω δὴ τούτοις προτελεσθέντες, τηνικαῦτα τῶν ἱερῶν καὶ ἀπορρήτων ἐπακουσόμεθα παιδευμάτων: καὶ οἷον ἐν ὕδατι τὸν ἥλιον ὁρᾶν ἐθισθέντες, οὕτως αὐτῷ προσβαλοῦμεν τῷ φωτὶ τὰς ὄψεις.
