πρότερον μέν, ὦ βουλή, ἐνόμιζον ἐξεῖναι τῷ βουλομένῳ, ἡσυχίαν ἄγοντι, μήτε δίκας ἔχειν μήτε πράγματα: νυνὶ δὲ οὕτως ἀπροσδοκήτως αἰτίαις καὶ πονηροῖς συκοφάνταις περιπέπτωκα, ὥστ᾽ εἴ πως οἷόν τε, δοκεῖ μοι δεῖν καὶ τοὺς μὴ γεγονότας ἤδη δεδιέναι περὶ τῶν μελλόντων ἔσεσθαι: διὰ γὰρ τοὺς τοιούτους οἱ κίνδυνοι οἱ1 κοινοὶ γίγνονται καὶ τοῖς μηδὲν ἀδικοῦσι καὶ τοῖς πολλὰ ἡμαρτηκόσιν.
