σὺ τοίνυν τὸ παθεῖν ἀφαιρεῖς τὸν δεσμὸν ἀφιείς· καὶ ταῦτα τίσιν; τοῖς κλέπταις, τοῖς ἱεροσύλοις, τοῖς πατραλοίαις, τοῖς ἀνδροφόνοις, τοῖς ἀστρατεύτοις, τοῖς λιποῦσι τὰς τάξεις· τούτους γὰρ πάντας σῴζεις τῷ νόμῳ. καίτοι ὅστις ἐν δημοκρατίᾳ νομοθετῶν μήθʼ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἱερῶν μήθʼ ὑπὲρ τοῦ δήμου νομοθετεῖ, ἀλλʼ ὑπὲρ ὧν εἶπον ἀρτίως, πῶς οὐ δίκαιός ἐστι τῆς ἐσχάτης τιμωρίας τυχεῖν;
