τοῦ μέντοι ταῦθʼ οὕτως αἰσχρῶς προεληλυθέναι, εἰ δεῖ μετὰ παρρησίας εἰπεῖν τἀληθῆ, οὐδένες ὑμῶν, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, μᾶλλόν εἰσιν αἴτιοι. οὐδὲ γὰρ δίκην ἔτι λαμβάνειν ἐθέλετε παρὰ τῶν ἀδικούντων, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦτʼ ἐξελήλυθεν ἐκ τῆς πόλεως. καίτοι σκέψασθʼ ὡς ἐκόλαζον οἱ πρόγονοι τοὺς ἀδικοῦντας ἑαυτούς, εἰ παραπλησίως ὑμῖν.
