δίκην δὲ τούτῳ λαχὼν ὕστερον τῆς κακηγορίας εἷλον ἐρήμην: οὐ γὰρ ἀπήντα. λαβὼν δ᾽ ὑπερήμερον καὶ ἔχων, οὐδενὸς ἡψάμην πώποτε τῶν τούτου, ἀλλὰ λαχὼν ἐξούλης πάλιν οὐδέπω καὶ τήμερον εἰσελθεῖν δεδύνημαι: τοσαύτας τέχνας καὶ σκήψεις οὗτος εὑρίσκων ἐκκρούει. κἀγὼ μὲν οὕτως εὐλαβῶς τῇ δίκῃ, τοῖς νόμοις ἅπαντα πράττειν ἀξιῶ: ὁ δ᾽, ὡς ὑμεῖς ἀκούετε, ἀσελγῶς οὐ μόνον εἰς ἐμὲ καὶ τοὺς ἐμοὺς ᾤετο δεῖν ὑβρίζειν, ἀλλὰ καὶ εἰς τοὺς φυλέτας δι᾽ ἐμέ.
