Craccas plurima a barbaris hauhisse, confessi sunt
ipsimet Gracei. Ilato in Cralylo Guaecae linguae originem in bar,
barica, id est Cello-Scgthica, cujus vesligia hadie in Germanica maxime
supersunt, quaerendam docuit. Et inter alia sive, ignis, cujus vocis ori
ginem quaerit Jlalo, manifeste est Germanicum aliaque id genus innumena
viri docti nolavere. Lillerae a Thoeniciis per Cadmum ad Quaccas
sunt branslatae:
Thaenices primi famae i credimus ausi
Mansaram nudibus vocem hignare figuris.
GGeometriam Gracii ab Aegyptuis hausisse feruntur, quia Nili imun–
dalionibus agrorum limites confundebantar. Inde gentis industria
ad excogilandam artem conversa ezt, quac agrorum menhuras daret,
quibus perdili limites restituerentur.
Arabet et vicini ipsis Chaldaei et Regyplii in regionibus serenis
versantes astroium doctienam invenerunt. Haque ab illis Astronomia
nala est, quam postea astrolagicae superslitiones facdaverunt. Graeci
Berius ad haec pervenere, hed accuraliorem neddidere scientiam.
Alipparchus annumeravit posteris stellas, Eralosthenes is fuit,
Descriprit radio tolum qui gentibus orbem.
Dolon et Typhagoras aliique sapientes Graccorum in orientem
profecti inde scientias mathemalicas, historiam que ciam seu memoriam
antiquilatis allulerunt. Hinc Aegyplius ille hacerdos Soloni dixit:
GGraecas semper pueros esse, quod anliquidates ignorarent.
Sed nunc cacleris dochrinis omissis de Theologia agitur quac–
slioque est, quantum in ea debeant barbaris Graeii, quantum ipsi ad
jecerint. Theolagia hic intelligitur non illa gentilium superslitiosa,
fabealora
