ἀλλὰ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς πόλεως οἰκείαν εἶναι, κατεσκευασμένην ἀπὸ τούτων, ἵνʼ ἅμʼ εὐπορῆτε καὶ τὰ δέοντα ποιῆτε, καὶ τὸν στρατηγὸν ἡγεῖσθαι ταύτης, ἵνʼ ὑμῖν, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, μὴ τοιαῦθʼ οἷάπερ νυνὶ συμβαίνῃ· τοὺς στρατηγοὺς κρίνετε, καὶ περίεσθʼ ὑμῖν ἐκ τῶν πραγμάτων ὁ δεῖνα τοῦ δεῖνος τὸν δεῖνʼ εἰσήγγειλεν, ἄλλο δʼ οὐδέν.
