πάντας γὰρ ὑμᾶς εἰδέναι νομίζω τὸν τρόπον καὶ τὴν ἀσέλγειαν καὶ τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν τοῦ βίου, καὶ πάλαι θαυμάζειν ἐνίους οἴομαι ὧν αὐτοὶ μὲν ἴσασιν, οὐκ ἀκηκόασι δὲ νῦν ἐμοῦ. πολλοὺς δὲ τῶν πεπονθότων οὐδὲ πάνθʼ ὅσʼ ἠδίκηνται μαρτυρεῖν ἐθέλοντας ὁρῶ, τὴν βίαν καὶ τὴν φιλοπραγμοσύνην ὁρῶντας τὴν τούτου καὶ τὴν ἀφορμήν, ἥπερ ἰσχυρὸν ποιεῖ καὶ φοβερὸν τὸν κατάπτυστον τουτονί.
