Χορός

παύσασθε μάχης καὶ λοιδορίας.
935ἀλλ᾽ ἐπίδειξαι σύ τε τοὺς προτέρους
ἅττ᾽ ἐδίδασκες, σύ τε τὴν καινὴν
παίδευσιν, ὅπως ἂν ἀκούσας σφῷν
ἀντιλεγόντοιν κρίνας φοιτᾷ.

Δίκαιος Λόγος

δρᾶν ταῦτ᾽ ἐθέλω.

Ἄδικος Λόγος
κἄγωγ᾽ ἐθέλω.

Χορός

940φέρε δὴ πότερος λέξει πρότερος;

Ἄδικος Λόγος

τούτῳ δώσω:
κᾆτ᾽ ἐκ τούτων ὧν ἂν λέξῃ
ῥηματίοισιν καινοῖς αὐτὸν
καὶ διανοίαις κατατοξεύσω.
945τὸ τελευταῖον δ᾽, ἢν ἀναγρύζῃ,
τὸ πρόσωπον ἅπαν καὶ τὠφθαλμὼ
κεντούμενος ὥσπερ ὑπ᾽ ἀνθρηνῶν
ὑπὸ τῶν γνωμῶν ἀπολεῖται.
