ἐν δὲ δημηγορίᾳ ἥκιστα διήγησις ἔστιν, ὅτι περὶ τῶν μελλόντων οὐθεὶς διηγεῖται: ἀλλ᾽ ἐάν περ διήγησις ᾖ, τῶν γενομένων ἔστω, ἵνα ἀναμνησθέντες ἐκείνων βέλτιον βουλεύσωνται
περὶ τῶν ὕστερον, ἢ διαβάλλοντος ἢ ἐπαινοῦντος: ἀλλὰ †τότε οὐ† τὸ τοῦ συμβούλου ποιεῖ ἔργον. ἂν δ᾽ ᾖ ἄπιστον, ὑπισχνεῖσθαι δεῖ καὶ αἰτίαν λέγειν εὐθὺς καὶ διατάττειν ὡς βούλονται, οἷον ἡ Ἰοκάστη ἡ Καρκίνου ἐν τῷ Οἰδίποδι ἀεὶ ὑπισχνεῖται πυνθανομένου τοῦ ζητοῦντος τὸν
υἱόν, καὶ ὁ Αἵμων ὁ Σοφοκλέους.
