οἶδα μὲν οὖν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ὅτι πρὸς ἄνδρας καὶ λέγειν ἱκανοὺς καὶ παρασκευάσασθαι δυναμένους χαλεπόν ἐστιν εἰς ἀγῶνα καθίστασθαι περὶ τῶν ὄντων ἁπάντων, ἄπειρον ὄντα παντάπασι πραγμάτων διὰ τὴν ἡλικίαν· ὅμως δέ, καίπερ πολὺ τούτων καταδεέστερος ὤν, πολλὰς ἐλπίδας ἔχω καὶ παρʼ ὑμῖν τεύξεσθαι τῶν δικαίων καὶ μέχρι γε τοῦ τὰ γεγενημένα διεξελθεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ἀρκούντως ἐρεῖν, ὥσθʼ ὑμᾶς μήτʼ ἀπολειφθῆναι τῶν πραγμάτων μηδὲ καθʼ ἓν μήτʼ ἀγνοῆσαι περὶ ὧν δεήσει τὴν ψῆφον ἐνεγκεῖν.
