πῶς δʼ οὐχ ἅμα τε παρενόμουν ἐκεῖνοι καὶ ἀναίσθητοι ἦσαν, οἵ γε τηλικοῦτον παρέβησαν τῶν ὅρκων, ὃ παρʼ ἐλάχιστον ἐποίησεν αὐτοὺς ἀφαιρεθῆναι δικαίως τὴν κατὰ θάλατταν ἡγεμονίαν; καὶ νῦν ἔτι παραδεδώκασι τοῦτο τὸ δίκαιον ἀνεγκλήτως ἡμῖν, ὅταν βουληθῶμεν πράττειν· οὐ γὰρ ὅτι ἐπαύσαντʼ ἐξαμαρτάνοντες, ἧττόν τι δήπου παραβεβήκασι τὰς κοινὰς ὁμολογίας.
