Sacrum.damus bisce literis quicquid perscrutati sumus de scriptore eo cuius et indoles et ingenium omnium facile qui apud veteres excel lentium historicorum laudem sibi pepererunt maxime est mirum ac memorabile. Etanim Philistus Syracusanus, de quo quaestio erit, sive vitam eius sive scripta contemplamur,tanta admiratione quanto con temptu dignam se praestitit: vir summo loco natus, ingenii pariter ac fortunae opibus instructus, re militari strenuus, praestans civilibus artibus, idem per tota1n vitam tyrannidi asperrimae non solum operam dicavit, sed cum ad historiam scribendam se contulisset improbitate ea fecit, ut non veros tyrannorum mores descripserit, sed vitia occul taverit, laudes in maius extulerit.
