πῶς οὖν ῥᾳδίως πάντες εἴσεσθε τίς ποτ᾽ ἔσθ᾽ ὁ πονηρός; ἀναμνήσθητε παρ᾽ ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς τίς ἐσθ᾽ ὁ κατηγορῶν τῶν πεπραγμένων ἐξ ἀρχῆς. δῆλον γὰρ ὅτι τῷ μὲν ἠδικηκότι σιγᾶν ἐξήρκει καὶ διακρουσαμένῳ τὸν παρόντα χρόνον μηκέτ᾽ εἰς λόγον περὶ τῶν πεπραγμένων αὑτὸν καθιστάναι, τῷ δὲ μηδὲν ἑαυτῷ συνειδότι δεινὸν εἰσῄει, εἰ δεινῶν καὶ πονηρῶν ἔργων δόξει κοινωνεῖν τῷ σιωπῆσαι. εἰμὶ τοίνυν ὁ κατηγορῶν ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἐγὼ τούτων, τούτων δ᾽ οὐδεὶς ἐμοῦ.
