οἶμαι δέ, νὴ τὸν Δία τὸν Ὀλύμπιον, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, οὐκ ἀπὸ ταὐτομάτου τὴν ὕβριν καὶ τὴν ὑπερηφανίαν ἐπελθεῖν Ἀνδροτίωνι, ἀλλʼ ὑπὸ τῆς θεοῦ ἐπιπεμφθεῖσαν, ἵνʼ, ὥσπερ οἱ τὰ ἀκρωτήρια τῆς Νίκης περικόψαντες ἀπώλοντʼ αὐτοὶ ὑφʼ αὑτῶν, οὕτω καὶ οὗτοι αὐτοὶ αὑτοῖς δικαζόμενοι ἀπόλοιντο, καὶ τὰ χρήματα καταθεῖεν δεκαπλάσια κατὰ τοὺς νόμους ἢ δεθεῖεν.
