ἡ μὲν γὰρ συγγραφὴ οὐδὲν κυριώτερον ἐᾷ εἶναι τῶν ἐγγεγραμμένων, οὐδὲ προσφέρειν οὔτε νόμον οὔτε ψήφισμα οὔτʼ ἄλλʼ οὐδʼ ὁτιοῦν πρὸς τὴν συγγραφήν· τούτοις δʼ εὐθὺς ἐξ ἀρχῆς οὐδὲν ἐμέλησε τῆς συγγραφῆς ταύτης, ἀλλὰ τοῖς χρήμασιν ἐχρῶντο τοῖς ἡμετέροις ὥσπερ ἰδίοις οὖσιν αὑτῶν· οὕτως εἰσὶν οὗτοι κακοῦργοι σοφισταὶ καὶ ἄδικοι ἄνθρωποι.
