  • ἀλλ’ οἶμαι λύζειν αὐτὸν ἔδει, ἵνα εἰσ ἀπληστίαν σκωφθῇ. (Aristides, Aelius, Orationes, 172:9)
  • εἰ δέ τισ τῇ Πλάτωνοσ δόξῃ περὶ πάντων ἰσχυρίζοιτο, καὶ φάσκοι μὲν ζῆν Σωκράτη, ὅτε ὁ τῶν ἐν Κορίνθῳ καὶ Λεχαίῳ τετελευτηκότων ἐλέγετο ἐπιτάφιοσ, πίνειν δ’ ἐν Ἀγάθωνοσ μετὰ τὴν εἰρήνην, λύζειν δ’ Ἀριστοφάνη ἐν τῷ συμποσίῳ, κωμάζειν δὲ Ἀλκιβιάδην, μειράκια δ’ εἶναι τηνικαῦτα Ἀγάθωνα καὶ Ἀλκιβιάδην, ὁμοῦ δ’ εἶναι πάντα χρήματα, πῶσ οὐχὶ ληρήσει μὴ προσεξετάζων, εἴ τι καὶ κατ’ ἐξουσίαν ἁνὴρ λέγοι, ἀλλ’ ὥσπερ παῖσ ἔμβραχυ τοῦτ’ ἀρκεῖν ὑπολαμβάνων ὅ τι φαίη Πλάτων; (Aristides, Aelius, Orationes, 172:10)
