αὐτὸς μὲν οὖν διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐβούλετο ποιήσασθαι τὸ συμβόλαιον, ἐμὲ δ᾽ ἐκέλευεν πρᾶξαι ὅπως αὐτῷ ὡς ἀσφαλέστατα ἕξει. λαβὼν δὲ ἐγὼ τὰς ἑπτὰ μνᾶς παρὰ τοῦ Παρμένοντος, καὶ τὰς τρεῖς ἃς προειλήφει οὗτος παρ᾽ ἐκείνου, ἀνθομολογησάμενος πρὸς τοῦτον, ὠνὴν ποιοῦμαι τῆς νεὼς καὶ τῶν παίδων, ἕως ἀποδοίη τάς τε δέκα μνᾶς ἃς δι᾽ ἐμοῦ ἔλαβεν, καὶ τὰς τριάκοντα ὧν κατέστησεν ἐμὲ ἐγγυητὴν τῷ τραπεζίτῃ. καὶ ὡς ἀληθῆ λέγω, ἀκούσατε τῶν μαρτυριῶν.“Μαρτυρίαι”
