ἐστὲ γὰρ ὑμεῖς οὐκ αὐτοὶ πλεονεκτῆσαι καὶ κατασχεῖν ἀρχὴν εὖ πεφυκότες, ἀλλʼ ἕτερον λαβεῖν κωλῦσαι καὶ ἔχοντʼ ἀφελέσθαι καὶ ὅλως ἐνοχλῆσαι τοῖς ἄρχειν βουλομένοις καὶ πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἰς ἐλευθερίαν ἐξελέσθαι δεινοί. οὔκουν βούλεται τοῖς αὑτοῦ καιροῖς τὴν παρʼ ὑμῶν ἐλευθερίαν ἐφεδρεύειν, οὐ κακῶς οὐδʼ ἀργῶς ταῦτα λογιζόμενος.
