ἢ τίς ὁ παραλαβὼν τῶν οἰκετῶν τῶν ἡμετέρων; χρῆν γὰρ αὐτόν, εἰ μὲν οἰκέται ἤνεγκαν, τοὺς κομίσαντας παραδιδόναι, εἰ δὲ μισθωτοί, τὸν ὑποδεξάμενον καὶ ἀποστησάμενον τὸν χαλκὸν τῶν οἰκετῶν τῶν ἡμετέρων, τοῦτον ἐξαιτεῖν: οὐ γὰρ δήπου ἄνευ γε σταθμοῦ ἔμελλεν οὔτε ὁ ὑποτιθέμενος παραλήψεσθαι οὔθ᾽ ὁ ὑποτιθεὶς τὸν χαλκὸν παραδώσειν, οὐδ᾽ αὖ ὁ πατὴρ ἔμελλεν αὐτὸς οὔτε οἴσειν τὸν χαλκὸν οὔτε στήσεσθαι, ἀλλ᾽ οἰκέται ἦσαν αὐτῷ, οἳ τὰ ἐνέχυρα τῶν δανεισμάτων παρελάμβανον.
