ἐγὼ δὲ παρελθὼν οὐδὲν ἔφην τοῦτον ὧν ἐβούλετʼ εἰπεῖν πρὸς Φίλιππον ἐμοὶ παραλιπεῖν· θᾶττον γὰρ ἂν τοῦ αἵματος ἢ λόγου μεταδοῦναί τινι. ἀλλʼ, οἶμαι, χρήματʼ εἰληφότʼ οὐκ ἦν ἀντιλέγειν πρὸς Φίλιππον τὸν ὑπὲρ τούτου δεδωκότα, ὅπως ἐκείνην μὴ ἀποδῷ. λέγε δή μοι λαβὼν καὶ τὰ τοῦ Σόλωνος ἐλεγεῖα ταυτί, ἵνʼ ἴδηθʼ ὅτι καὶ Σόλων ἐμίσει τοὺς οἵους οὗτος ἀνθρώπους.
