καὶ γὰρ τοῦτο, ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι. θεάσασθε τὴν ὑπερβολήν. ἐρράγη ἡ ναῦς, ὥς φησιν οὗτος, καὶ διὰ τοῦτʼ εἰς Ῥόδον κατήγαγεν αὐτήν. οὐκοῦν τὸ μετὰ τοῦτο ἐπεσκευάσθη καὶ πλόϊμος ἐγένετο. διὰ τί οὖν, ὦ βέλτιστε, εἰς μὲν τὴν Αἴγυπτον καὶ τἄλλα ἐμπόρια ἀπέστελλες αὐτήν, Ἀθήναζε δὲ οὐκ ἀπέσταλκας οὐδέπω καὶ νῦν πρὸς ἡμᾶς τοὺς δανείσαντας, οἷς ἡ συγγραφὴ κελεύει σε ἐμφανῆ καὶ ἀνέπαφον τὴν ναῦν παρέχειν, καὶ ταῦτʼ ἀξιούντων ἡμῶν καὶ προκαλεσαμένων σε πολλάκις;
