καὶ περὶ μὲν τούτου κατὰ σχολήν· ἃ δὲ Τιμοκράτης νῦν ἐρεῖ, πολλὰ λέγειν ἔτι πρὸς τούτοις ἔχων παύσομαι. οἶδα δʼ ὅτι, ὡς μὲν οὐκ ἀσύμφορος ὑμῖν ἐσθʼ ὁ νόμος καὶ παρὰ πάντας τοὺς νόμους εἰσενηνεγμένος καὶ κατὰ πάντʼ ἀδίκως ἔχων, οὐχ ἕξει λέγειν· ἀκούω δʼ αὐτὸν λέγειν ὡς ἐκτέτεισται τὰ χρήματʼ Ἀνδροτίωνι καὶ Γλαυκέτῃ καὶ Μελανώπῳ, καὶ ὅτι δεινότατʼ ἂν πάθοι πάντων ἀνθρώπων, εἰ πεποιηκότων ἐκείνων τὰ δίκαια, ὑπὲρ ὧν αἰτίαν ἔχει θεῖναι τὸν νόμον, μηδὲν ἧττον αὐτὸς ἁλίσκοιτο.
