οὐδεὶς γάρ, ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, τὸ τοῦ προδιδόντος συμφέρον ζητῶν χρήματ᾽ ἀναλίσκει, οὐδ᾽ ἐπειδὰν ὧν ἂν πρίηται κύριος γένηται τῷ προδότῃ συμβούλῳ περὶ τῶν λοιπῶν ἔτι χρῆται: οὐδὲν γὰρ ἂν ἦν εὐδαιμονέστερον προδότου. ἀλλ᾽ οὐκ ἔστι ταῦτα: πόθεν; πολλοῦ γε καὶ δεῖ. ἀλλ᾽ ἐπειδὰν τῶν πραγμάτων ἐγκρατὴς ὁ ζητῶν ἄρχειν καταστῇ, καὶ τῶν ταῦτ᾽ ἀποδομένων δεσπότης ἐστί, τὴν δὲ πονηρίαν εἰδὼς τότε δή, τότε καὶ μισεῖ καὶ ἀπιστεῖ καὶ προπηλακίζει.
