Τὸ δὲ ἐξαίρεσθαί πως λαμβανόμενον οὐ μέγεθος ποιεῖ μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ δεινότητα, ὡς τὸ οὐ λέγειν εἴσω τὴν χεῖρα ἔχοντα δεῖ, Αἰσχίνη, ἀλλὰ πρεσβεύειν εἴσω τὴν χεῖρα ἔχοντα. Καὶ τὸ ἀλλ’ ὁ τὴν Εὔβοιαν ἐκεῖνος σφετεριζόμενος· οὐ γὰρ ὑπὲρ τοῦ μέγαν ποιῆσαι τὸν λόγον ἡ ἐπανάστασις, ἀλλ’ ὑπὲρ τοῦ δεινόν. γίνεται δὲ τοῦτο ἐπὰν μεταξὺ ἐξαρθέντες κατηγορῶμέν τινος· ὥσπερ γὰρ Αἰσχίνου κατηγορία, τὸ δὲ Φιλίππου ἐστίν.
