καὶ μὴν εἰ μὲν ἅπαντʼ ἠξίους, ὅσα πράττεις τῇ πόλει, σαυτῷ πιστεύειν, οὐκ ἂν ὁμοίως κλέπτης ὢν ἐφωρῶ· νῦν δʼ ἐπὶ ταῖς εἰσφοραῖς ὃ δίκαιόν ἐσθʼ ὁρίσας, μὴ σοὶ πιστεύειν, ἀλλὰ τοῖς αὑτῆς δούλοις τὴν πόλιν, ὁπότʼ ἄλλο τι πράττων καὶ χρήματα κινῶν ἱερά, ὧν ἔνιʼ οὐδʼ ἐπὶ τῆς ἡμετέρας γενεᾶς ἀνετέθη, μὴ προσγραψάμενος τὴν αὐτὴν φυλακὴν ἥνπερ ἐπὶ τῶν εἰσφορῶν φαίνει, οὐκ ἤδη δῆλον διʼ ὃ τοῦτʼ ἐποίησας; ἐγὼ μὲν οἶμαι.
