[52]
ὧν ἐκεῖνος μὲν χάριν εἶχεν, σὺ δ᾽ οὐδένα ποιεῖ λόγον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐναντία τῇ διαθήκῃ καὶ ταῖς ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνης ἀραῖς, γραφείσαις ὑπὸ τοῦ σοῦ πατρός, ἐλαύνεις συκοφαντεῖς διώκεις. ὦ βέλτιστ᾽, εἰ οἷόν τε σὲ τοῦτ᾽ εἰπεῖν, οὐ παύσει, καὶ γνώσει τοῦθ᾽, ὅτι πολλῶν χρημάτων τὸ χρηστὸν εἶναι λυσιτελέστερόν ἐστιν; σοὶ γοῦν, εἴπερ ἀληθῆ λέγεις, χρήματα μὲν τοσαῦτ᾽ εἰληφότι πάντ᾽ ἀπόλωλεν, ὡς φής: εἰ δ᾽ ἦσθ᾽ ἐπιεικής, οὐκ ἄν ποτ᾽ αὔτ᾽ ἀνήλωσας.
