σκοπεῖτε δὴ τοῦθ᾽ οὑτωσί. ὤφειλεν Ἑρμῶναξ στατῆρας ἑκατὸν παρὰ Ναυσικράτους λαβὼν τούτοις. τούτων Ἀρίσταιχμος ἐπίτροπος καὶ κηδεμὼν ἐγένεθ᾽ ἑκκαίδεκ᾽ ἔτη. οὐκοῦν ἅ γε τούτων ἀνδρῶν γεγονότων δι᾽ ἑαυτοῦ διέλυε χρήμαθ᾽ ὁ Ἑρμῶναξ, οὐκ ἀπέδωκεν ὅτ᾽ ἦσαν παῖδες: οὐ γὰρ δίς γε ταὐτὰ κατετίθει. ἔστιν οὖν οὕτω τις ἀνθρώπων ἄτοπος, ὥσθ᾽ ἃ τοὺς κυρίους διεκρούσατο μὴ καταθεῖναι τοσοῦτον χρόνον, ταῦτα τῷ μὴ κυρίῳ πέμψαντι γράμμαθ᾽ ἑκὼν ἀποδοῦναι; ἐγὼ μὲν οὐκ οἶμαι.
