τὰς δʼ ὀκτὼ τί ποιήσομεν; εἰπέ, Τιμόκρατες· οὐ σύνιμεν καὶ βουλευσόμεθʼ ἄν τι δέῃ; εἶτʼ ἔτι δημοκρατησόμεθα; οὐ δικάσει τὰ δικαστήρια τά τʼ ἴδια καὶ τὰ δημόσια; καὶ τίς ὑπάρξει τοῖς ἀδικουμένοις ἀσφάλεια; οὐκ εἴσεισιν ἡ βουλὴ καὶ διοικήσει τὰ ἐκ τῶν νόμων; καὶ τί λοιπὸν ἔσθʼ ἡμῖν ἀλλʼ ἢ καταλελύσθαι; ἀλλὰ νὴ Δίʼ ἀμισθεὶ ταῦτα ποιήσομεν. καὶ πῶς οὐ δεινόν, εἰ διὰ τὸν νόμον, ὃν σὺ τέθηκας μισθὸν λαβών, ἄμισθος ὁ δῆμος καὶ ἡ βουλὴ καὶ τὰ δικαστήριʼ ἔσται;
