ἐγὼ μὲν γὰρ οἶμαι οὐδέν. ἀκούω δʼ ἔγωγε καὶ τὸ πρότερον οὕτω καταλυθῆναι τὴν δημοκρατίαν, παρανόμων πρῶτον γραφῶν καταλυθεισῶν καὶ τῶν δικαστηρίων ἀκύρων γενομένων. ἴσως μὲν οὖν ἄν τις ὑπολάβοι ὅτι οὐχ ὁμοίων ὄντων τῶν πραγμάτων νῦν καὶ τότε λέγω περὶ καταλύσεως τοῦ δήμου. ἀλλʼ οὐδὲ σπέρμα δεῖ καταβάλλειν ἐν τῇ πόλει οὐδένα, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, τοιούτων πραγμάτων, οὐδʼ εἰ μήπω ἂν ἐκφύοι, ἀλλὰ τὸν ἐγχειροῦντα λέγειν ἢ ποιεῖν τι τοιοῦτον δίκην διδόναι.
