οἶμαι τοίνυν αὐτὸν οὐδʼ ἐκείνων ἀφέξεσθαι τῶν λόγων, ὡς δείνʼ ἂν πάθοι, εἰ γράψας ὅπως Ἀθηναίων μηδεὶς δεθήσεται αὐτὸς πείσεταί τι κακόν, καὶ ὅτι τοὺς νόμους ὡς πραοτάτους καὶ μετριωτάτους εἶναι ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδυνάτων μάλιστʼ ἐστίν. πρὸς δὴ τοὺς τοιούτους λόγους βέλτιον ἀκηκοέναι μικρὰ πάντας ὑμᾶς, ἵνʼ ἧττον ἐξαπατᾶσθε.
