καὶ περὶ μὲν τῶν τότε πραχθέντων ἔχων ἔτι πολλὰ λέγειν, καὶ ταῦθʼ ἡγοῦμαι πλείω τῶν ἱκανῶν εἰρῆσθαι. αἴτιος δʼ οὗτος, ὥσπερ ἑωλοκρασίαν τινά μου τῆς πονηρίας τῆς ἑαυτοῦ καὶ τῶν ἀδικημάτων κατασκεδάσας, ἣν ἀναγκαῖον ἦν πρὸς τοὺς νεωτέρους τῶν πεπραγμένων ἀπολύσασθαι. παρηνώχλησθε δʼ ἴσως οἱ καὶ πρὶν ἔμʼ εἰπεῖν ὁτιοῦν εἰδότες τὴν τούτου τότε μισθαρνίαν.
