δέομαι οὖν ὑμῶν ἁπάντων, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, καὶ ἱκετεύω, πρῶτον μὲν εὐνοϊκῶς ἀκοῦσαί μου λέγοντος, ἔπειτʼ, ἐὰν ἐπιδείξω Μειδίαν τουτονὶ μὴ μόνον εἰς ἐμὲ ἀλλὰ καὶ εἰς ὑμᾶς καὶ εἰς τοὺς νόμους καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἄλλους ἅπαντας ὑβρικότα, βοηθῆσαι καὶ ἐμοὶ καὶ ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς. καὶ γὰρ οὕτω πως ἔχει, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι· ὕβρισμαι μὲν ἐγὼ καὶ προπεπηλάκισται τὸ σῶμα τοὐμὸν τότε, ἀγωνιεῖται δὲ καὶ κριθήσεται τὸ πρᾶγμα νυνί, πότερον ἐξεῖναι δεῖ τὰ τοιαῦτα ποιεῖν καὶ εἰς τὸν τυχόνθʼ ὑμῶν ἀδεῶς ὑβρίζειν ἢ μή.
