καὶ ὅμως τό γε δυστυχέστατος εἶναι ἀνθρώπων οὐδαμῇ ἐκφεύγω, ὅτε δὴ προαγομένης μὲν τῆς πόλεως ἐπὶ ταύτας τὰς συμφορὰς οὐδεὶς ἐμοῦ ἤρχετο γίγνεσθαι δυσδαιμονέστερος, μεθισταμένης δὲ πάλιν εἰς τὸ ἀσφαλὲς ἁπάντων ἐγὼ ἀθλιώτατος. ὄντων γὰρ κακῶν τοσούτων τῇ πόλει ἀδύνατον ἦν ταῦτα ἰαθῆναι ἄλλως ἢ τῷ ἐμῷ αἰσχρῷ, ὥστʼ ἐν αὐτῷ ᾧ ἐγὼ κακῶς ἔπραττον, ἐν τούτῳ ὑμᾶς σῴζεσθαι. χάριν οὖν εἰκός με, οὐ μῖσος τῷ δυστυχήματι τούτῳ φέρεσθαι παρʼ ὑμῶν.
