ἐγὼ δέ φημι δεῖν (καί μοι μὴ θορυβήσητʼ ἐφʼ ᾧ μέλλω λέγειν, ἀλλʼ ἀκούσαντες κρίνατε), ὡς περὶ τοῦ λαβεῖν ἐκκλησίαν ἀπεδώκαμεν, οὕτω καὶ περὶ τοῦ συνταχθῆναι καὶ παρασκευασθῆναι τὰ πρὸς τὸν πόλεμον ἐκκλησίαν ἀποδοῦναι, καὶ παρασχεῖν ἕκαστον αὑτὸν μὴ μόνον ταῦτʼ ἀκούειν ἐθέλοντα, ἀλλὰ καὶ πράττειν βουλόμενον, ἵνʼ, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, τῶν ἀγαθῶν τὰς ἐλπίδας διʼ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἔχητε, καὶ μὴ τὸν δεῖνα μηδὲ τὸν δεῖνα πυνθάνησθε τί πράττει.
