εἰ δὲ δεῖ παρὰ πάντα ταῦτʼ εἰπεῖν ὃ δίκαιον ἡγοῦμαι, ἐκεῖνʼ ἂν ἔγωγʼ εἴποιμι. οὐκ ἔστι δίκαιον, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, τοὺς Λακεδαιμονίων νόμους οὐδὲ τοὺς Θηβαίων λέγειν ἐπὶ τῷ τοὺς ἐνθάδε λυμαίνεσθαι, οὐδὲ διʼ ὧν μὲν ἐκεῖνοι μεγάλοι , κἂν ἀποκτεῖναι βούλεσθαι τὸν παρʼ ἡμῖν τούτων τι κατασκευάσαντα, διὰ δʼ ὧν ὁ παρʼ ἡμῖν δῆμος εὐδαίμων, ταῦθʼ ὡς ἀνελεῖν δεῖ λεγόντων τινῶν ἐθέλειν ἀκούειν.
