οὐ μὴν οὐδʼ ἂν εἰ διʼ αὑτῶν εἶχον τὴν πόλιν οἱ νῦν ὄντες ἐν αὐτῇ Ῥόδιοι, παρῄνεσʼ ἂν ὑμῖν τούτους ἑλέσθαι, οὐδʼ εἰ πάνθʼ ὑπισχνοῦνθʼ ὑμῖν ποιήσειν. ὁρῶ γὰρ αὐτοὺς τὸ μὲν πρῶτον, ὅπως καταλύσωσι τὸν δῆμον, προσλαβόντας τινὰς τῶν πολιτῶν, ἐπειδὴ δὲ τοῦτʼ ἔπραξαν, πάλιν ἐκβαλόντας τούτους· τοὺς οὖν μηδετέροις πιστῶς κεχρημένους οὐδʼ ἂν ὑμῖν βεβαίους ἡγοῦμαι γενέσθαι συμμάχους.
