ὅπερ καὶ οὗτος ἔμοιγε δοκεῖ πάσχειν. ἐπεὶ φέρε, πῶς ἐστι δίκαιον, ἐὰν μὲν ὀγδοήκοντα μνῶν θῇς ὅρους, ὀγδοήκοντα μνᾶς εἶναι τὴν προῖκα, ἐὰν δὲ πλείονος πλέον, ἐὰν δ᾽ ἐλάττονος ἔλαττον; ἢ πῶς ἐστι δίκαιον, τῆς ἀδελφῆς τῆς σῆς μηδέπω καὶ τήμερον ἄλλῳ συνοικούσης μηδ᾽ ἀπηλλαγμένης Ἀφόβου, μηδὲ τὴν προῖκα δεδωκότος σοῦ, μηδ᾽ ὑπὲρ τούτων εἰς βάσανον μηδ᾽ εἰς ἄλλο δίκαιον μηδὲν καταφεύγειν ἐθέλοντος, ὅτι σὺ στῆσαι φὴς ὅρους, σὸν εἶναι τὸ χωρίον; ἐγὼ μὲν οὐδαμῶς οἶμαι: τὴν γὰρ ἀλήθειαν σκεπτέον, οὐχ ἅ τις αὑτῷ παρεσκεύασεν ἐξεπίτηδες εἰς τὸ λέγειν τι δοκεῖν, ὥσπερ ὑμεῖς.
