ἀγώνων, αἳ δὴ τῷ παντὶ ἐκείνων εἰσὶ λαμπρότεραι,
ἀνελομένους ἔχοιεν δείκνυσθαι πλείους ἢ Καῖσαρ
ὁ πρῶτος, ὀρύγματά τε τὰ Ἀσσύρια καὶ τὰ Βαβυλωνίων
τείχη πυραμίδας τε ἐπ̓ αὐτοῖς τὰς
Αἰγυπτίων, καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα πλούτου καὶ χρημάτων
καὶ τρυφῆς γέγονε σημεῖα καὶ διανοίας ὑπὸ
φιλοτιμίας ἀναφλεγομένης καὶ ἀπορουμένης ἐς
ὅ, τι τῷ πλούτῳ χρήσεται, εἶτα ἐς τοῦτο τὰς τῶν
χρημάτων εὐπορίας καταβαλλομένης. εὖ γὰρ
δὴ ἴστε, ὡς οὔτε πολῦτος ἀρχαῖος ἢ νεωστί ποθεν
