καὶ μὴν πρός γʼ Ἀριστοφῶντα πολλὰ καὶ δίκαιʼ ἂν ἔχειν εἰπεῖν οἶμαι. οὗτος εὕρετο τὴν δωρειὰν παρʼ ὑμῖν, ἐν ᾗ τοῦτʼ ἐνῆν. καὶ οὐ τοῦτʼ ἐπιτιμῶ· δεῖ γὰρ ἐφʼ ὑμῖν εἶναι διδόναι τὰ ὑμέτερʼ αὐτῶν οἷς ἂν βούλησθε. ἀλλʼ ἐκεῖνό γʼ οὐχὶ δίκαιον εἶναί φημι, τὸ ὅτε μὲν τούτῳ ταῦτʼ ἔμελλεν ὑπάρχειν λαβόντι, μηδὲν ἡγεῖσθαι δεινόν, ἐπειδὴ δʼ ἑτέροις δέδοται, τηνικαῦτʼ ἀγανακτεῖν καὶ πείθειν ὑμᾶς ἀφελέσθαι.
