Τὸ πρωτεύειν, ἔφη, τῆς ἐμαυτοῦ καὶ μηδενὸς μήτε
εἶναι μήτε νομίζεσθαι δεύτερον. Τοῦτο, εἶπεν ὁ
Ἑρμῆς, ἀσαφές ἐστι: πότερον γάρ, εἰπέ, κατὰ
σοφίαν ἢ τὴν ἐν τοῖς λόγοις δεινότητα ἢ πολεμικὴν
ἐμπειρίαν ἢ πολιτικὴν δύναμιν; Ἦν μὲν
οὖν, ἔφη ὁ Καῖσαρ, ἡδύ μοι τῶν πάντων ἐν πᾶσιν
εἶναι πρώτῳ: τούτου δὲ οὐ δυνάμενος ἐπιτυχεῖν τὸ
δύνασθαι μέγιστον παρὰ τοῖς ἐμαυτοῦ πολίταις
