οἷς τίς ἂν ὑμῶν πιστεύσειεν; καὶ μὴν οὐδʼ ἐκεῖνό γε εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ ἐνδέχεται, ὡς μικρὸν μὲν ὄντα ἐποιεῖτο αὐτὸν ὁ πατήρ, μείζω δὲ γενόμενον τῇ μητρὶ ὀργισθείς τι τῇ τούτων ἠτίμαζεν· πολὺ γὰρ δήπου μᾶλλον εἰώθασιν, ὧν ἂν ἐν αὑτοῖς διενεχθῶσιν γυνὴ καὶ ἀνήρ, διαλλάττεσθαι διὰ τοὺς παῖδας ἢ διὰ τὰς πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς ὀργὰς τοὺς κοινοὺς παῖδας πρὸς μισεῖν. ὥστε ἐὰν μὲν ἐπιχειρῇ ταῦτα λέγειν, μὴ ἐπιτρέπετε ἀναισχυντεῖν.
