δεήσομαι δὲ καὶ δίκαια καὶ μέτρι᾽ ὑμῶν ἁπάντων, πρῶτον μὲν εὐνοϊκῶς ἀκοῦσαί μου λέγοντος, εἶτ᾽, ἐὰν ἀδικεῖσθαι δοκῶ καὶ μὴ προσήκοντος ἐγκλήματος φεύγειν δίκην, βοηθῆσαί μοι τὰ δίκαια. ὃ μὲν γὰρ ὑμεῖς ἐπὶ τῇ δίκῃ τίμημ᾽ ἀκηκόατε, τριάκοντα μναῖ εἰσιν, ὧν δὲ φεύγομεν χρημάτων, τέτταρα τάλαντα. ὄντες γὰρ δύο τέτταρας εἰλήχασι δίκας ἡμῖν, τῶν αὐτῶν χρημάτων πάσας, τρισχιλίων ἑκάστην, βλάβης: καὶ νυνὶ πρὸς τριάκοντα μνῶν ἐπίγραμμα, ὑπὲρ τοσούτων χρημάτων εἰς ἀγῶνα καθέσταμεν.
