οὐκ ἐᾷ μετὰ ταῦθʼ ὁ δεύτερος νόμος οὐδὲ τὸν ἑαλωκότʼ ἀνδροφόνον λυμαίνεσθαι οὐδὲ χρήματα πράττεσθαι· ὁ δʼ ἐν τῷ ποιεῖν ἀγώγιμον πάντα ταῦτα δέδωκεν· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῖς λαβοῦσιν ἔσται ποιεῖν ὅ τι ἂν βούλωνται. ἀπάγειν ὁ νόμος ὡς τοὺς θεσμοθέτας κελεύει, καὶ τοῦτʼ, ἂν ἐν τῇ τοῦ πεπονθότος λάβῃ τις πατρίδι· ὁ δʼ ἀγώγιμον αὐτῷ τῷ τὴν αἰτίαν ἐπενεγκόντι δίδωσιν ὡς αὑτόν, κἂν τῆς ἀλλοτρίας που λάβῃ.
