ἐπειδὴ δὲ τότʼ ἀφέντες ἐπὶ ταῖς ὁμολογουμέναις ἐλπίσιν, μικρὸν ὕστερον τὸν αὐτὸν τοῦτον, ὡς πράττοντα καὶ λέγοντα μὴ τὰ ἄριστα τῷ δήμῳ, πάλιν ἐκολάσατε, τίς ὑπολείπεται σκῆψις ὑμῖν ἁρμόττουσα, ἂν νῦν παρακρουσθῆτε; ὧν μὲν γὰρ ἔργῳ πεῖραν εἰλήφατε, τί δεῖ τοῖς λόγοις πιστεύειν; ὧν δὲ μηδέπω τὴν δοκιμασίαν ἔχετʼ ἀκριβῆ παρʼ ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς, ἐκ τῶν λεγομένων ἴσως ἀναγκαῖόν ἐστι κρίνειν.
