ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, καὶ τοῖς θεοῖς, εἰς οὓς οὗτοι ἠσεβήκασιν, καὶ ἐμαυτῷ τιμωρῶν, κατέστησά τε τουτουσὶ εἰς ἀγῶνα καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν ὑμετέραν ψῆφον ἤγαγον. καὶ ὑμᾶς δὲ χρὴ νομίσαντας μὴ λήσειν τοὺς θεούς, εἰς οὓς οὗτοι παρανενομήκασιν, ὅ τι ἂν ἕκαστος ὑμῶν ψηφίσηται, ψηφίσασθαι τὰ δίκαια καὶ τιμωρεῖν μάλιστα μὲν τοῖς θεοῖς, ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς. καὶ ταῦτα ποιήσαντες δόξετε πᾶσι καλῶς καὶ δικαίως δικάσαι ταύτην τὴν γραφήν, ἣν Νέαιραν ἐγὼ ἐγραψάμην, ξένην οὖσαν ἀστῷ συνοικεῖν.
