ἀλλʼ οὐ νῦν, ἀλλὰ παραστησάμενος τὸν τῆς ὀρφανίας τοῖς παισὶν αἴτιον, τί ποτʼ ἀνερεῖ, ἢ τί φθέγξεται; καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν αὐτὰ διεξίῃ τὰ ἐκ τοῦ Ψηφίσματος προστάγματα, ἀλλʼ οὐ τό γʼ ἐκ τῆς ἀληθείας αἰσχρὸν σιωπήσεται, ἀλλὰ τἀναντία δόξει τῇ τοῦ κήρυκος φωνῇ φθέγγεσθαι, ὅτι τόνδε τὸν ἄνδρα, εἰ δὴ καὶ οὗτος ἀνήρ, στεφανοῖ ὁ δῆμος ὁ Ἀθηναίων ἀρετῆς ἕνεκα—τὸν κάκιστον, καὶ ἀνδραγαθίας ἕνεκα—τὸν ἄνανδρον καὶ λελοιπότα τὴν τάξιν.
