ὅταν μὲν γὰρ λέγῃ, ὅπως μηδεὶς Ἀθηναίων δεθήσεται, μὴ λανθανέτω ψευδόμενος ὑμᾶς. οὐ γὰρ τοῦτο τέθηκεν, ἀλλʼ ὅπως ὑμεῖς ἄκυροι τῶν προστιμημάτων ἔσεσθε· καὶ τὴν μεθʼ ὅρκου καὶ λόγου καὶ κρίσεως ψῆφον ἐνηνεγμένην ἀνάδικον καθίστησιν. μὴ δὴ ταῦθʼ ὑμῖν τῶν ἐκ τοῦ νόμου ῥημάτων ἐκλέξας λεγέτω, ἃ φιλανθρωπότατʼ ἐστὶν ἀκοῦσαι· ἀλλʼ ὅλον δεικνύτω τὸν νόμον ἑξῆς, καὶ τὰ συμβαίνοντʼ ἐξ αὐτοῦ σκοπεῖν ἐάτω. εὑρήσετε γὰρ ταῦτʼ ὄνθʼ ἃ ἐγὼ λέγω, καὶ οὐχ ἅ φησιν οὗτος.
