εἰ μὲν οὖν ἕτεροί τινες ἦσαν ἐν οἷς ἐγίγνονθʼ οἱ λόγοι περὶ ὑμῶν, οὔτε τούτους ἂν οἶμαι ῥᾳδίως οὕτω ψεύδεσθαι, οὔτε τοὺς ἀκούοντας πολλὰ τῶν εἰρημένων ἀνασχέσθαι. νῦν δὲ τἄλλα τʼ οἶμαι τῆς ὑμετέρας πλεονεκτοῦσιν εὐηθείας ἅπαντες, καὶ δὴ καὶ τοῦτο νῦν οὗτοι· ἀκροαταῖς γὰρ ἐχρήσαντο καθʼ ὑμῶν ὑμῖν οἵοις οὐδέσιν ἂν τῶν ἄλλων, ἀκριβῶς οἶδα τοῦτʼ ἐγώ.
