ἐγὼ δʼ εἰμὶ ἔμπορος, καὶ σὺ ἀδελφὸς καὶ κληρονόμος ἑνὸς τῶν ἐμπόρων, τοῦ λαβόντος παρʼ ἡμῶν τὰ ἐμπορικὰ χρήματα. ποῖ οὖν δεῖ ταύτην εἰσελθεῖν τὴν δίκην; δίδαξον, ὦ Λάκριτε, μόνον δίκαιόν τι λέγων καὶ κατὰ τοὺς νόμους. ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἔστιν οὕτω δεινὸς ἄνθρωπος οὐδεὶς ὅστις ἂν περὶ τοιούτων πραγμάτων ἔχοι τι δίκαιον εἰπεῖν.
