Sortis nescio qua iniquitate accidit, ut, si exceperis quae Hero dotus, Thucydides, Xenophon commentariis suis tradider?nt, uberior antiquioris Graecorum historiae expositio omnis fere nobis haurienda sit ex serioris demum aetatis scriptoribus. Qui quoniam ex aliorum libris sua hauserunt tantum non omnia auctoritas eorum in plerisque pendet ex diligentia, quam ad fontes conquirendos attulerunt, et ex eorum quos duces sequeren-? tur delectu. Jam vero quamvis diligentia plurimor?m animique sincera voluntas laudandae sint, atque nefas hab eam temerarie velle insolenterque meritis eorum detrahere; fatendum tamen est ipsius aetatis horum scriptorum indolem, cujus vim subterfugere-non poterant, tantum abesse, ut altiores verioresque de arte scri benclae histo riae notiones us suggesserit ut in perniciosa saepenumero eos abduxerit consilia.
