καὶ πρὸς τοῖς ἄλλοις, ὥσπερ αὐτὸς ἁπλῶς καὶ μετʼ εὐνοίας πάντας εἰρηκὼς τοὺς λόγους, φυλάττειν ἐμὲ καὶ τηρεῖν ἐκέλευεν, ὅπως μὴ παρακρούσομαι μηδʼ ἐξαπατήσω, δεινὸν καὶ γόητα καὶ σοφιστὴν καὶ τὰ τοιαῦτʼ ὀνομάζων, ὡς ἐὰν πρότερός τις εἴπῃ τὰ προσόνθʼ ἑαυτῷ περὶ ἄλλου, καὶ δὴ ταῦθʼ οὕτως ἔχοντα, καὶ οὐκέτι τοὺς ἀκούοντας σκεψομένους τίς ποτʼ αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ ταῦτα λέγων. ἐγὼ δʼ οἶδʼ οἶδʼ ὅτι γιγνώσκετε τοῦτον ἅπαντες, καὶ πολὺ τούτῳ μᾶλλον ἢ ἐμοὶ νομίζετε ταῦτα προσεῖναι.
