ἀλλὰ νὴ Δίʼ αἰσχρὸν ἴσως ἦν Ἀνδροτίωνα δεθῆναι ἢ Γλαυκέτην ἢ Μελάνωπον. οὐ μὰ τὸν Δίʼ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ἀλλὰ πολὺ αἴσχιον τὴν πόλιν ἀδικουμένην καὶ ὑβριζομένην μὴ λαβεῖν δίκην καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς θεοῦ καὶ ὑπὲρ αὑτῆς. ἐπεὶ Ἀνδροτίωνί γε πότερʼ οὐ πατρῷον τὸ δεδέσθαι; ἀλλʼ αὐτοὶ ἴστε πολλὰς πεντετηρίδας ἐν τῷ δεσμωτηρίῳ διατρίψαντα τὸν πατέρʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀποδράντα, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἀφεθέντα.
