οὐ δέχεται ἡ ψυχή, τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον οὐδὲ λόγον, ἐὰν ὁ ἐναντίος εὖ δοκῇ εἰρηκέναι. δεῖ οὖν χώραν ποιεῖν ἐν τῷ ἀκροατῇ τῷ μέλλοντι λόγῳ: ἔσται δὲ ἂν ἀνέλῃς: διὸ ἢ πρὸς πάντα ἢ τὰ μέγιστα ἢ τὰ εὐδοκιμοῦντα ἢ τὰ εὐέλεγκτα μαχεσάμενον οὕτω τὰ αὑτοῦ πιστὰ ποιητέον.
“ταῖς θεαῖσι πρῶτα σύμμαχος γενήσομαι:
ἐγὼ γὰρ Ἥραν:
” Eur. Tro. 969-971 ἐν τούτοις ἥψατο πρῶτον τοῦ εὐηθεστάτου.
