ὡς δεινὸν εἴ τινες μόνοι τῶν ἄλλων μετοίκων μὴ χορηγοῖεν, πῶς ποτʼ ἂν ἔχοιτε πρὸς τοὺς ταῦτα λέγοντας; ἢ δῆλον ὅτι φωνὴν οὐκ ἂν ἀνάσχοισθʼ ὡς συκοφαντούντων; οὔκουν αἰσχρὸν εἰ μέλλοντες μὲν εὖ πάσχειν συκοφάντην ἂν τὸν ταῦτα λέγονθʼ ἡγοῖσθε, ἐπὶ τῷ δʼ ἀφελέσθαι τὰς τῶν προτέρων εὐεργετῶν δωρειὰς ταῦτα λεγόντων ἀκούσεσθε;
