περὶ δὲ τὴν καθ᾽ ἡμέρων δίαιταν τίς ἐστιν; ἐκ τριηράρχου λογογράφος ἀνεφάνη, καταγελάστως τὰ πατρῷα προέμενος: ἄπιστος δὲ καὶ περὶ ταῦτα δόξας εἶναι καὶ τοὺς λόγους ἐκφέρων τοῖς ἀντιδίκοις, ἀνεπήδησεν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα: πλεῖστον δ᾽ ἐκ τῆς πολιτείας εἰληφὼς ἀργύριον, ἐλάχιστα περιεποιήσατο. νῦν μέντοι τὸ βασιλικὸν χρυσίον ἐπικέκλυκε τὴν δαπάνην αὐτοῦ, ἔσται δ᾽ οὐδὲ τοῦθ᾽ ἱκανόν: οὐδεὶς γὰρ πώποτε πλοῦτος τρόπου πονηροῦ περιεγένετο. καὶ τὸ κεφάλαιον, τὸν βίον οὐκ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων προσόδων πορίζεται, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τῶν ὑμετέρων κινδύνων.
