πολὺ δέ μοι προσήκει ταῦτα μᾶλλον ἐκείνων καὶ τῷ γένει συνηθέστερά ἐστι. τάδε γὰρ οὐ ψευσαμένῳ μοι λαθεῖν οἷόν τʼ ἐστι τούς γε πρεσβυτέρους ὑμῶν, ὅτι ὁ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πατρὸς πάππος Λεωγόρας στασιάσας πρὸς τοὺς τυράννους ὑπὲρ τοῦ δήμου, ἐξὸν αὐτῷ διαλλαχθέντι τῆς ἔχθρας καὶ γενομένῳ κηδεστῇ ἄρξαι μετʼ ἐκείνων τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῆς πόλεως, εἵλετο μᾶλλον ἐκπεσεῖν μετὰ τοῦ δήμου καὶ φεύγων κακοπαθεῖν μᾶλλον ἢ προδότης αὐτῶν καταστῆναι. ὥστʼ ἔμοιγε καὶ διὰ τὰ τῶν προγόνων ἔργα εἰκότως ὑπάρχει δημοτικῷ εἶναι, εἴπερ τι ἀλλὰ νῦν γε φρονῶν τυγχάνω. ὧν καὶ ἕνεκα εἰκὸς ὑμᾶς, ἐὰν χρηστὸς ὢν ἀνὴρ εἰς ὑμᾶς φαίνωμαι, προθυμότερόν μου ἀποδέχεσθαι τὰ πραττόμενα.
