ἐὰν γὰρ λέγῃ ὡς ἡ μὲν ἐμὴ μήτηρ οὐκ ἐπηνέγκατο προῖκα, ἡ δὲ τούτων ἐπηνέγκατο, ἐνθυμεῖσθε ὅτι περιφανῶς ψεύδεται. πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ὁ Πάμφιλος ὁ πατὴρ τῆς τούτου μητρὸς πέντε τάλαντα τῷ δημοσίῳ ὀφείλων ἐτελεύτησεν, καὶ τοσούτου ἐδέησεν περιγενέσθαι τι τοῖς ἐκείνου παισὶν τῆς οὐσίας ἀπογραφείσης καὶ δημευθείσης, ὥστε οὐδὲ τὸ ὄφλημα πᾶν ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ ἐκτέτεισται, ἀλλ᾽ ἔτι καὶ νῦν ὁ Πάμφιλος ὀφείλων τῷ δημοσίῳ ἐγγέγραπται. πῶς οὖν οἷόν τε τὸν ἐμὸν πατέρα χρήματα λαβεῖν ἐκ τῆς Παμφίλου οὐσίας, ἣ οὐδὲ αὐτὸ τὸ ὄφλημα ἱκανὴ ἐγένετο τῇ πόλει ἐκτεῖσαι;
