ἀλλʼ εὐτυχοῦσιν, ὅτι ἐναποχρῶνται τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ῥᾳθυμίᾳ τῇ οὐδὲ τῶν δικαίων ἀπολαύειν προαιρουμένῃ. ὃ καὶ ὑβριστικώτατον συμβέβηκεν, εἰ οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι Ἕλληνες καὶ βάρβαροι ἅπαντες τὴν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔχθραν φοβοῦνται, οὗτοι δʼ οἱ νεόπλουτοι μόνοι καταφρονεῖν ὑμᾶς ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἀναγκάζουσι, τὰ μὲν πείθοντες, τὰ δὲ βιαζόμενοι, ὥσπερ ἐν Ἀβδηρίταις ἢ Μαρωνείταις, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐν Ἀθηναίοις πολιτευόμενοι.
