καὶ
μὴν κἀκεῖνο λεκτέον, οὐ μικρὸν ὄν: ὑπὸ γὰρ τοῦ κομιδῇ
Ἀττικὸς εἶναι καὶ ἀποκεκαθάρθαι τὴν φωνὴν ἐς τὸ ἀκριβέστατον
ἠξίωσεν οὗτος καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα μεταποιῆσαι τὰ
Ρωμαίων καὶ μετεγγράψαι ἐς τὸ Ἑλληνικόν, ὡς Κρόνιον
μὲν Σατουρνῖνον λέγειν, Φρόντιν δὲ τὸν Φρόντωνα, Τιτάνιον
δὲ τὸν Τιτιανὸν καὶ ἄλλα πολλῷ γελοιότερα. ἔτι
ὁ αὐτὸς οὗτος περὶ τῆς Σευηριανοῦ τελευτῆς ἔγραψεν
ὡς οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι ἅπαντες ἐξηπάτηνται οἰόμενοι ξίφει τεθνάναι
αὐτόν, ἀποθάνοι δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ σιτίων ἀποσχόμενος:
τοῦτον γὰρ αὐτῷ ἀλυπότατον δόξαι τὸν θάνατον: οὐκ
εἰδὼς ὅτι τὸ μὲν πάθος ἐκεῖνο πᾶν τριῶν οἶμαι ἡμερῶν
[30]
ἐγένετο, ἀπόσιτοι δὲ καὶ ἐς ἑβδόμην διαρκοῦσιν οἱ πολλοί,
ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ τοῦθ᾽ ὑπολάβοι τις, ὡς Ὀσρόης τις εἱστήκει
περιμένων, ἔστ᾽ ἂν Σευηριανὸς λιμῷ ἀπόληται,
καὶ διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπῆγε διὰ τῆς ἑβδόμης.
