καὶ ὁ μὲν νόμος, οὐδʼ ἐπειδὰν τὴν ἄδειαν εὕρηταί τις, ἔδωκεν ὡς ἂν βούληται πράττειν, ἀλλʼ ὡς ἂν τῇ βουλῇ καὶ τῷ δήμῳ δοκῇ· τῷ δʼ οὐκ ἀπέχρησε τοῦτʼ ἀδικεῖν μόνον, εἰ μὴ δοθείσης τῆς ἀδείας λέγει καὶ νόμον εἰσφέρει περὶ τούτων, ἀλλὰ καὶ προσέτʼ οὐκ εἰς τὴν βουλήν, οὐκ εἰς τὸν δῆμον εἰπὼν περὶ τούτων οὐδέν, ἐν παραβύστῳ, τῆς βουλῆς μὲν ἀφειμένης, τῶν δʼ ἄλλων διὰ τὴν ἑορτὴν ἱερομηνίαν ἀγόντων, λάθρα τὸν νόμον εἰσήνεγκεν.
