  • ἢ μᾶλλον ὑμῖν ἀκούειν συνέφερε περὶ τῶν τοῦ Ἀχιλλέωσ πηδήσεών τε καὶ ὀρούσεων καὶ τῆσ φωνῆσ, ὅτι μόνον φθεγξάμενοσ ἔτρεπε τοὺσ Τρῶασ, ταῦτα μᾶλλον ὠφελεῖ ὑμᾶσ ἐκμανθάνοντασ ἢ ἐκεῖνο, ὅτι ἡ σμικρὰ πόλισ ἐν τραχεῖ σκοπέλῳ κειμένη κρείττων ἐστὶ καὶ εὐτυχεστέρα κατὰ κόσμον οἰκοῦσα ἢ μεγάλη ἐν λείῳ καὶ πλατεῖ πεδίῳ, ἐάνπερ ἀκόσμωσ καὶ ἀνόμωσ ὑπὸ ἀνθρώπων ἀφρόνων οἰκῆται; (Dio, Chrysostom, Orationes, 24:2)
