Sed ut Romanis externa iungamus, Socrates, non solum hominum consensu, uerum etiam Apollinis oraculo sapientissimus iudicatus, Phaenarete matre obstetrice et Sophronisco patre marmorario genitus ad clarissimum gloriae lumen excessit. neque immerito: nam cum eruditissimorum uirorum ingenia in disputatione caeca uagarentur mensurasque solis ac lunae et ceterorum siderum loquacibus magis quam certis argumentis explicare conarentur, totius etiam mundi habitum conplecti auderent, primus ab his indoctis erroribus abductum animum suum intima condicionis humanae et in secessu pectoris repositos adfectus scrutari coegit, si uirtus per se ipsa aestimetur, uitae magister optimus.
