For those of my own nation freely acknowledge that I far exceed them
in the learning belonging to Jews: I have also taken a great deal of pains to
obtain the learning of the Greeks, and understand the elements of the Greek
language, although I have so accustomed myself to speak our own tongue, I
cannot pronounce Greek with sufficient exactness.
ἔχω γὰρ ὁμολογούμενον παρὰ τῶν ὁμοεθνῶν πλεῖστον αὐτῶν κατὰ τὴν ἐπιχώριον
παιδείαν διαφέρειν καὶ τῶν Ἑλληνικῶν δὲ γραμμάτων ἐσπούδασα μετασχεῖν τὴν
γραμματικὴν ἐμπειρίαν ἀναλαβών τὴν δὲ περὶ τὴν προφορὰν ἀκρίβειαν πάτριος ἐκώλυσεν
συνήθεια.
