νῦν δὲ ταῦθʼ ὑμῖν τεκμήριʼ ἔστω ὅτι ἔξεστι δῆσαι· παντελῶς γὰρ ἤδη ἄκυρʼ ἂν ἦν τὰ τιμήματα. ἔπειτα δʼ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, τοῦτο τὸ γράμμα αὐτὸ μὲν καθʼ αὑτὸ οὐκ ἔστι νόμος, τὸ οὐδὲ δήσω Ἀθηναίων οὐδένα, ἐν δὲ τῷ ὅρκῳ τῷ βουλευτικῷ γέγραπται, ἵνα μὴ συνιστάμενοι οἱ ῥήτορες οἱ ἐν τῇ βουλῇ δεσμὸν κατά τινος τῶν πολιτῶν λέγοιεν.
