Translation: Aristophanes in
Clouds [writes]: "they provide us with speech". That is, with experience of speeches. And intelligence, that is to show what has been thought. Speech differs from dialect, because dialect[1] is a character of the voice indicating nationality, whereas speech [is] a deviation of a usual voice toward what is more venerable and rustic.
