ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἔστιν, ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, ἀλλʼ οὗτος συκοφαντῶν, ὅτι ἐπὶ τῷ θεωρικῷ τότʼ ὢν ἐπέδωκα τὰ χρήματα, ἐπῄνεσεν αὐτό φησίν ὑπεύθυνον ὄντα οὐ περὶ τούτων γʼ οὐδενὸς ὧν ὑπεύθυνος ἦν, ἀλλʼ ἐφʼ οἷς ἐπέδωκα, ὦ συκοφάντα. ἀλλὰ καὶ τειχοποιὸς ἦσθα καὶ διά γε τοῦτο ὀρθῶς ἐπῃνούμην, ὅτι τἀνηλωμένʼ ἔδωκα καὶ οὐκ ἐλογιζόμην. ὁ μὲν γὰρ λογισμὸς εὐθυνῶν καὶ τῶν ἐξετασόντων προσδεῖται, ἡ δὲ δωρειὰ χάριτος καὶ ἐπαίνου δικαία ἐστὶ τυγχάνειν· διόπερ ταῦτʼ ἔγραψεν ὁδὶ περὶ ἐμοῦ.
