Βούλομαι δὲ ἤδη τοῦ προέδρου αὐτῆς τὴν φύσιν ἐξετάσαι. τί γὰρ δὴ λέγει; ἢ κατέχωμεν, φησίν, οὗ ἤδη ἐγκρατεῖς γεγόναμεν ἢ γενέσθω ὡς αὐτοὶ βουλόμεθα. πέπτωκε καὶ ταῦτα πέπτωκε ἀναιρούμενος δόλῳ, φησίν, ἢ δεινότητι πανουργίας. οὐδὲν διαφέρει. σεμνὸν μόνον ἡγεῖται, ὃ διὰ πονηρᾶς ἐπινοίας εἰς αὐτὸν εἰσερρύη.
