ὅσα μὲν γὰρ ἀμφισβητήσιμά ἐστι τῶν συμβολαίων, κρίσεως δεῖται, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί: τὰ δὲ παρ᾽ ἀμφοτέρων ὁμολογηθέντα τῶν συντιθεμένων, καὶ περὶ ὧν συγγραφαὶ κεῖνται ναυτικαί, τέλος ἔχειν ἅπαντες νομίζουσιν, καὶ χρῆσθαι προσήκει τοῖς γεγραμμένοις. ὅτι δὲ κατὰ τὴν συγγραφὴν οὐδ᾽ ὁτιοῦν πεποιήκασιν, ἀλλ᾽ εὐθὺς ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς ἀρξάμενοι ἐκακοτέχνουν καὶ ἐπεβούλευον μηδὲν ὑγιὲς ποιεῖν, ὑπό τε τῶν μαρτυριῶν καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑφ᾽ ἑαυτῶν ἐλέγχονται οὑτωσὶ καταφανῶς.
