ἐπεὶ τί δήποτε μισθούμενοι ἕτερα πλοῖα, ὥς φατε, οὐχ ἅπαντα τὸν γόμον τῆς νεὼς μετενέθεσθε, ἀλλὰ τὸν σῖτον αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ Ῥόδῳ κατελίπετε; ὅτι, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, τοῦτον μὲν συνέφερεν αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖσε πωλεῖν （τὰς γὰρ τιμὰς τὰς ἐνθάδε ἀνεικέναι ἤκουον）: τὰ δ᾽ ἄλλ᾽ ἀγώγιμα ὡς ὑμᾶς ἀπέστελλον, ἀφ᾽ ὧν κερδανεῖν ἤλπιζον. ὥστε τὴν μίσθωσιν τῶν πλοίων ὅταν λέγῃς, οὐ τοῦ ῥαγῆναι τὴν ναῦν τεκμήριον λέγεις, ἀλλὰ τοῦ συμφέροντος ὑμῖν.
