ἵνʼ ἐὰν μὲν ἀκούσαντες τοῦτο τοὺς μετὰ ταῦτα λόγους βούλησθʼ ἀκούειν, καὶ διδάσκῃ καὶ φράζῃ τὰ βέλτισθʼ αὑτῷ δοκοῦντα, ἂν δʼ ἀποδοκιμάσητε, ἀπηλλαγμένος ᾖ καὶ μήθʼ ὑμῖν ἐνοχλῇ μήθʼ αὑτὸν κόπτῃ. ἐγὼ δὴ τοῦτο πρῶτον ἐρῶ. ἐμοὶ δοκεῖ Μυτιληναίων ὁ δῆμος ἠδικῆσθαι, καὶ δίκην ὑμῖν ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ προσήκειν λαβεῖν. καὶ ὅπως λήψεσθʼ ἔχω λέγειν, ἐπειδὰν ὡς ἠδίκηνται καὶ ὑμῖν προσήκει βοηθεῖν ἐπιδείξω.
