Translation
Some madnesses1 are odd, such as those of the delirious, but others are deliberate and praiseworthy; for instance those of poets and soothsayers.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Μανίαι δ' οὐ πᾶσιν ὁμοῖαι· τῶν μανιῶν αἱ μέν εἰσιν ἄτοποι, ὡς αἱ τῶν παραπαιόντων, αἱ δὲ αἱρεταὶ καὶ εὐχῆς ἄξιοι, οἷαι τῶν ποιητῶν καὶ τῶν χρησμολόγων.
