καθαρός ἐστι τὴν ἑρμηνείαν πάνυ καὶ τῆς Ἀττικῆς
γλώττης ἄριστος κανών, οὐ τῆς ἀρχαίας, ᾗ κέχρηται
Πλάτων τε καὶ Θουκυδίδης, ἀλλὰ τῆς κατ᾽ ἐκεῖνον
τὸν χρόνον ἐπιχωριαζούσης, ὡς ἔστι τεκμήρασθαι τοῖς
τε Ἀνδοκίδου λόγοις καὶ τοῖς Κριτίου καὶ ἄλλοις
συχνοῖς. κατὰ τοῦτο μὲν δὴ τὸ μέρος, ὅ πέρ ἐστι
πρῶτόν τε καὶ κυριώτατον ἐν λόγοις, λέγω δὲ τὸ
καθαρεύειν τὴν διάλεκτον, οὐθεὶς τῶν μεταγενεστέρων
αὐτὸν ὑπερεβάλετο, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ μιμήσασθαι πολλοὶ
δύναμιν ἔσχον ὅτι μὴ μόνος Ἰσοκράτης: καθαρώτατος
γὰρ δὴ τῶν ἄλλων μετὰ Λυσίαν ἐν τοῖς ὀνόμασιν
οὗτος ἔμοιγε δοκεῖ γενέσθαι ὁ ἀνήρ. μίαν μὲν δὴ

[p. 10]
ῥήτορι καὶ παρακελευσαίμην ἂν τοῖς βουλομένοις καθαρῶς
γράφειν ἢ λέγειν ἐκεῖνον τὸν ἄνδρα ποιεῖσθαι
παράδειγμα ταύτης τῆς ἀρετῆς.
