  • εἰ γάρ τισ Φειδίαν πρῶτον ἐν τοῖσ Ἕλλησιν εὐθύνοι, τὸν σοφὸν τοῦτον καὶ δαιμόνιον ἐργάτην τοῦ σεμνοῦ καὶ παγκάλου δημιουργήματοσ, καθίσασ δικαστὰσ τοὺσ βραβεύοντασ τῷ θεῷ τὸν ἀγῶνα, μᾶλλον δὲ κοινὸν δικαστήριον ξυμπάντων Πελοποννησίων, ἔτι δὲ Βοιωτῶν καὶ Ιὤνων καὶ τῶν ἄλλων Ἑλλήνων τῶν πανταχοῦ κατὰ τὴν Εὐρώπην καὶ τὴν Ἀσίαν, οὐ τῶν χρημάτων λόγον ἀπαιτῶν οὐδὲ τῆσ περὶ τὸ ἄγαλμα δαπάνησ, ὁπόσων χρυσὸσ ὠνήθη ταλάντων καὶ ἐλέφασ, ἔτι δὲ κυπάριττοσ καὶ θύον πρὸσ τὴν ἐντὸσ ἐργασίαν μόνιμοσ ὕλη καὶ ἀδιάφθοροσ, τροφῆσ τε καὶ μισθῶν ἀναλώματοσ τοῖσ ἐργασαμένοισ οὐκ ὀλίγοισ οὐδὲ ὀλίγον χρόνον ἄλλοισ τε οὐ φαύλοισ δημιουργοῖσ καὶ τὸν πλεῖστον μισθὸν ὑπὲρ τῆσ τέχνησ Φειδίᾳ· (Dio, Chrysostom, Orationes, 63:1)
