χωρὶς δὲ τούτων αὐτὸς αὐτὸν οὗτος ἀφῆκε τῶν τοιούτων αἰτιῶν ἁπασῶν. οὐ γὰρ νῦν ἔδει λέγειν, οὐδʼ εἰς τὴν πρόκλησιν γράφειν ἐν ᾗ βασανίζειν ἐξῄτει, ἀλλὰ λαχόντʼ ἐκείνῳ τὴν δίκην τὸν κύριον διώκειν ἐμέ. νῦν δʼ εἴληχεν μὲν ἐμοί, κατηγορεῖ δʼ ἐκείνου. ταῦτα δʼ οὐκ ἐῶσιν οἱ νόμοι· τίς γὰρ πώποτε τῷ δεσπότῃ λαχών, τοῦ δούλου τὰ πράγματα, ὥσπερ κυρίου, κατηγόρησεν;
