ἐὰν δ᾽ ἐπιχειρῶσι λέγειν, ὡς οὐχ ἡταίρηκεν ὅστις μὴ κατὰ συγγραφὰς ἐμισθώθη, καὶ γραμματεῖον καὶ μάρτυρας ἀξιῶσί με τούτων παρασχέσθαι, πρῶτον μὲν τοὺς περὶ τῆς ἑταιρήσεως νόμους μέμνησθε, ἐν οἷς οὐδαμοῦ μνείαν ὁ νομοθέτης περὶ συνθηκῶν πεποίηται. οὐ γάρ, εἰ κατὰ γραμματεῖόν τις ἑαυτὸν κατῄσχυνε, τοῦτ᾽ ἐξήτασεν, ἀλλὰ παντελῶς, ὅπως ἂν ἡ πρᾶξις γένηται, τὸν πράξαντα κελεύει μὴ μετέχειν τῶν τῆς πόλεως κοινῶν. εἰκότως: ὅστις γὰρ νέος ὢν ἀπέστη δι᾽ αἰσχρὰς ἡδονὰς τῆς εἰς τὰ καλὰ φιλοτιμίας, τοῦτον οὐκ ᾠήθη δεῖν πρεσβύτερον γενόμενον1 ἐπίτιμον εἶναι.
