Nec Macedonum haec erat culpa'nemo enim illorum quicquam ex patrio more libare sustinuit'sed Graecorum, qui professionem honestarum artium malis corruperant moribus,  Agis quidem Argivus, pessimorum carminum post Choerilum conditor, et ex Sicilia Cleo, hic quidem non ingenii solum, sed etiam nationis vitio adulator, et cetera urbium suarum purgamenta, quae propinquis etiam maximorumque exercituum ducibus a rege inserebantur.
And this was not the fault of the Macedonians'for none of them could endure to impair any jot of his native customs'but of the Greeks, who had debased their profession of the liberal arts by evil habits:'Agis,  an Argive, the composer of the worst of poems next after Choerilus and Cleo, from Sicily, the latter indeed a flatterer, from a defect not only in his own nature, but also in his nation, and other sweepings of their own cities; these were mingled by the king even with his nearest friends and the leaders of his greatest armies.
