Texte grec :
| [12,50] ταῦτα μὲν γὰρ Ἠλείοις προσήκοντα λογίσασθαι τοῖς ἀναλώσασιν
ἀφθόνως καὶ μεγαλοπρεπῶς· ἡμεῖς δὲ
ὑπὲρ ἄλλου φήσομεν τῷ Φειδίᾳ προκεῖσθαι τὸν ἀγῶνα· εἰ οὖν
δὴ λέγοι τις πρὸς αὐτόν, Ὦ βέλτιστε καὶ ἄριστε τῶν δημιουργῶν,
ὡς μὲν ἡδὺ καὶ προσφιλὲς ὅραμα καὶ τέρψιν ἀμήχανον θέας εἰργάσω πᾶσιν
Ἕλλησι καὶ βαρβάροις, ὅσοι ποτὲ δεῦρο ἀφίκοντο
πολλοὶ πολλάκις, οὐδεὶς ἀντερεῖ.

Traduction française :
| [12,50] but as for us, we shall maintain that it is for
something else that Pheidias must submit to trial.
Suppose, then, that someone should actually say to him :
"O best and noblest of artists, how charming and
pleasing a spectacle you have wrought, and a vision
of infinite delight for the benefit of all men, both
Greeks and barbarians, who have ever come here, as
they have come in great throngs and time after time,
no one will gainsay.
