οὐδὲ γὰρ αὖ τοῦτʼ ἔστιν εἰπεῖν, ὡς οὐ γεγενημένου πώποτʼ οὐδενὸς ἐκ τῶν τοιούτων δεινοῦ τῷ λόγῳ τὸ πρᾶγμʼ ἐγὼ νῦν αἴρω καὶ φοβερὸν ποιῶ. πολλοῦ γε καὶ δεῖ. ἀλλʼ ἴσασιν ἅπαντες, εἰ δὲ μή, πολλοί γε, Εὔθυνον τὸν παλαίσαντά ποτʼ ἐκεῖνον, τὸν νεανίσκον, Σώφιλον τὸν παγκρατιαστήν (ἰσχυρός τις ἦν, μέλας, εὖ οἶδʼ ὅτι γιγνώσκουσίν τινες ὑμῶν ὃν λέγω,) τοῦτον ἐν Σάμῳ ἐν συνουσίᾳ τινὶ καὶ διατριβῇ οὕτως ἰδίᾳ, ὅτι αὐτὸν ὑβρίζειν ᾤετο, ἀμυνάμενον οὕτως ὥστε καὶ ἀποκτεῖναι. ἴσασιν Εὐαίωνα πολλοὶ τὸν Λεωδάμαντος ἀδελφόν, ἀποκτείναντα Βοιωτὸν ἐν δείπνῳ καὶ συνόδῳ κοινῇ διὰ πληγὴν μίαν.
