Who pray, of himself ever seeks out and commands a stranger from abroad, unless it be one of those that are masters of some public craft, a prophet, or a healer of ills, or a builder, aye, or a divine minstrel, who gives delight with his song?
τίς γὰρ δὴ ξεῖνον καλεῖ ἄλλοθεν αὐτὸς ἐπελθὼν ἄλλον γ' , εἰ μὴ τῶν οἳ δημιοεργοὶ ἔασι , μάντιν ἢ ἰητῆρα κακῶν ἢ τέκτονα δούρων , ἢ καὶ θέσπιν ἀοιδόν , ὅ κεν τέρπῃσιν ἀείδων ; [0] [1]
τις γάρ δή ξένος καλέω ἄλλοθεν αὐτός ἐπέρχομαι ἄλλος γε , εἰ μή ὁ ὅς δημιουργός εἰμί , μάντις ἤ ἰατήρ κακός ἤ τέκτων δόρυ , ἤ καί θέσπις ἀοιδός , ὁ ἄν τέρπω ἀείδω ;
