ἐγὼ γοῦν ʽοὕτω τί μοι ἀγαθὸν γένοιτὀ ἐπειδὴ περὶ τῶν παρόντων ἐπῄει μοι σκοπεῖν, λόγοις μὲν καὶ μάλʼ ἀφθόνοις, οὓς οὐκ ἂν ἀηδῶς ἠκούεθʼ ὑμεῖς, ἐνετύγχανον. καὶ γὰρ ὡς δικαιότατοι τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἐστέ, πόλλʼ ὄντʼ εἰπεῖν καὶ ἑώρων καὶ ὁρῶ, καὶ ὡς ἀρίστων προγόνων, καὶ πολλὰ τοιαῦτα. ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν τὸν χρόνον ἡσθῆναι ποιήσανθʼ ὅσον ἂν ῥηθῇ, μετὰ ταῦτʼ οἴχεται·
