τὸ τοίνυν τελευταῖον ἴστε δήπου πρώην ἐν Πειραιεῖ, ὅτʼ αὐτὸν οὐκ εἰᾶτε πρεσβεύειν, βοῶνθʼ ὡς εἰσαγγελεῖ με καὶ γράψεται καὶ ἰοὺ ἰού. καίτοι ταῦτα μέν ἐστι μακρῶν καὶ πολλῶν ἀγώνων καὶ λόγων ἀρχή, ἐκεῖνα δʼ ἁπλᾶ καὶ δύʼ ἢ τρίʼ ἴσως ῥήματα, ἃ κἂν ἐχθὲς ἐωνημένος ἄνθρωπος εἰπεῖν ἠδυνήθη, ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, τουτὶ τὸ πρᾶγμα πάνδεινόν ἐστιν· οὑτοσὶ κατηγορεῖ ταῦτʼ ἐμοῦ ὧν αὐτὸς κοινωνὸς γέγονε, καὶ χρήματʼ εἰληφέναι φησὶν ἐμέ, αὐτὸς εἰληφὼς ἢ μετειληφώς.
