ἵνʼ οὖν μήτʼ ἀφῶ μήτʼ αἰτιάσωμαι μηδένʼ, ἔφην, ἐγώ, ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμʼ αὐτὸ τοὺς μὲν αἰτίους εὕρῃ, τοὺς δὲ μὴ μετεσχηκότας ἀφῇ, ἀναστὰς ὁ βουλόμενος καὶ παρελθὼν εἰς ὑμᾶς ἀποφηνάσθω μὴ μετέχειν μηδʼ ἀρέσκειν αὐτῷ τὰ ὑπὸ Φιλοκράτους πεπραγμένα. καὶ τὸν τοῦτο ποιήσαντʼ ἀφίημʼ ἔγωγʼ, ἔφην. ταῦτα μνημονεύεθʼ, ὡς ἐγᾦμαι. οὐ τοίνυν παρῆλθεν οὐδεὶς οὐδʼ ἔδειξεν ἑαυτόν.
