μηδαμῶς, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι: μὴ βούλεσθε δοκεῖν πλείω πεποιῆσθαι σπουδὴν ὅπως μηδενὶ τῶν εὖ τι ποιούντων ὑμᾶς χάριν ἐξέσται κομίσασθαι ἢ ὅπως μηδεὶς φόνος ἐν τῇ πόλει γενήσεται: ἀλλ᾽ ἀναμνησθέντες τῶν καιρῶν, παρ᾽ οὓς εὖ πεπονθότες εὖ πεποιήκατε τοὺς εὑρομένους, καὶ τῆς Δημοφάντου στήλης περὶ ἧς εἶπε Φορμίων, ἐν ᾗ γέγραπται καὶ ὀμώμοται, ἄν τις ἀμύνων τι πάθῃ τῇ δημοκρατίᾳ, τὰς αὐτὰς δώσειν δωρειὰς ἅσπερ Ἁρμοδίῳ καὶ Ἀριστογείτονι, καταψηφίσασθε τοῦ νόμου. οὐ γὰρ ἔνεστ᾽ εὐορκεῖν, εἰ μὴ τοῦτο ποιήσετε.
