ἐπεὶ δὲ νυνί ποτε ὑπὸ τούτων αὐτῶν καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν νόμων τὸ πρᾶγμʼ ἐξελήλεγκται, οἰόμεθα δεῖν κληρονομεῖν τῶν Ἀρχιάδου, καὶ παρʼ ἡμῶν εἶναι τὸν υἱὸν τὸν εἰσποιούμενον τῶν μὴ πεποιημένων πρότερον, μὴ παρὰ τούτων. δικαίως γὰρ ὁ νομοθέτης, οἶμαι, ὥσπερ καὶ τὰς ἀτυχίας τῶν οἰκείων καὶ τὰς ἐκδόσεις τῶν γυναικῶν τοῖς ἐγγύτατα γένους προσέταττε , οὕτως καὶ τὰς κληρονομίας καὶ τὴν τῶν ἀγαθῶν μετουσίαν τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἀποδέδωκεν.
