νῦν δʼ, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, δημοσίᾳ μὲν ἡ πόλις ἡμῶν τὰς ὁδοὺς ἀγαπᾷ κατασκευάζουσα καὶ κρήνας καὶ κονιάματα καὶ λήρους (καὶ οὐ τοῖς εἰσηγησαμένοις ταῦτʼ ἐπιτιμῶ, πολλοῦ γε καὶ δέω, ἀλλʼ ὑμῖν, εἰ ταῦθʼ ἱκανὰ ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς ὑπολαμβάνετʼ εἶναι), ἰδίᾳ δʼ οἱ τῶν κοινῶν ἐπί τῳ γεγενημένοι οἱ μὲν τῶν δημοσίων οἰκοδομημάτων σεμνοτέρας τὰς ἰδίας οἰκίας κατεσκευάκασιν, οὐ μόνον τῶν πολλῶν ὑπερηφανωτέρας, οἱ δὲ γῆν συνεωνημένοι γεωργοῦσιν ὅσην οὐδʼ ὄναρ ἤλπισαν πώποτε.
