Ἔνθεν ἑλὼν ὁ Μιθριδάτης φωνὴν ἐπῆρε καὶ ὥσπερ ἐπὶ θειασμὸν “θεοὶ” φησὶ “βασίλειοι ἐπουράνιοί τε καὶ ὑποχθόνιοι, βοηθήσατε ἀνδρὶ ἀγαθῷ, πολλάκις ὑμῖν εὐξαμένῳ δικαίως καὶ θύσαντι μεγαλοπρεπῶς· ἀπόδοτέ μοι τὴν ἀμοιβὴν τῆς εὐσεβείας συκοφαντουμένῳ· χρήσατέ μοι κἂν εἰς τὴν δίκην Χαιρέαν. Φάνηθι, δαῖμον ἀγαθέ· καλεῖ σε ἡ σὴ Καλλιρρόη· μεταξὺ δὲ ἀμφοτέρων, ἐμοῦ τε καὶ Διονυσίου στὰς εἶπον βασιλεῖ τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ἡμῶν μοιχός.”
