ἔτι τοίνυν, εἰ μὲν μηδένα μηδὲν ἔχοντʼ εἴχομεν δεῖξαι τῶν πρέσβεων, μηδʼ ἦν ὥστʼ ἰδεῖν ἅπαντας, βασάνους καὶ τὰ τοιαῦθʼ ὑπόλοιπον ἂν ἦν σκοπεῖν. εἰ δὲ Φιλοκράτης μὴ μόνον ὡμολόγει παρʼ ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ δήμῳ πολλάκις, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐδείκνυεν ὑμῖν, πυροπωλῶν, οἰκοδομῶν, βαδιεῖσθαι φάσκων κἂν μὴ χειροτονῆθʼ ὑμεῖς, ξυληγῶν, τὸ χρυσίον καταλλαττόμενος φανερῶς ἐπὶ ταῖς τραπέζαις, οὐκ ἔνι δήπου τοῦτον εἰπεῖν ὡς οὐκ εἴληφε, τὸν αὐτὸν ὁμολογοῦντα καὶ δεικνύντα.
