καίτοι τότε ταῦτʼ ἀμφότερʼ, Αἰσχίνη, οὔθʼ ὑπὲρ εὐεργετῶν ἐποίουν οὔτʼ ἀκίνδυνʼ ἑώρων. ἀλλʼ οὐ διὰ ταῦτα προΐεντο τοὺς καταφεύγοντας ἐφʼ ἑαυτούς, ἀλλʼ ὑπὲρ εὐδοξίας καὶ τιμῆς ἤθελον τοῖς δεινοῖς αὑτοὺς διδόναι, ὀρθῶς καὶ καλῶς βουλευόμενοι. πέρας μὲν γὰρ ἅπασιν ἀνθρώποις ἐστὶ τοῦ βίου θάνατος, κἂν ἐν οἰκίσκῳ τις αὑτὸν καθείρξας τηρῇ· δεῖ δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἄνδρας ἐγχειρεῖν μὲν ἅπασιν ἀεὶ τοῖς καλοῖς, τὴν ἀγαθὴν προβαλλομένους ἐλπίδα, φέρειν δʼ ἃν ὁ θεὸς διδῷ γενναίως.
