τοῦτον μὲν τοίνυν οὕτω μέγαν καὶ φοβερὸν ἀγῶνά μοι οὐχ ὡς εὐήθης ὤν, ἀλλʼ ὡς ἐπίβουλος καὶ κακοῦργος κατεσκεύασεν. μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἀντὶ τοῦ ὀνόματος οὗ ἔθετο αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ Βοιωτόν, ὥσπερ καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς μεμαρτύρηται, ἐπειδὴ ἐκεῖνος ἐτελεύτησε, Μαντίθεον ἑαυτὸν ἐγγράψας εἰς τοὺς δημότας, καὶ τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐμοὶ καὶ πατρὸς καὶ δήμου προσαγορευόμενος, οὐ μόνον τὴν δίκην ταύτην, περὶ ἧς νυνὶ δικάζομαι, ἀνάδικον ἐποίησεν, ἀλλὰ καὶ χειροτονησάντων ὑμῶν ἐμὲ ταξίαρχον, ἧκεν αὐτὸς ἐπὶ τὸ δικαστήριον δοκιμασθησόμενος, δίκην δὲ ἐξούλης ὠφληκώς, ταύτην οὐκ αὐτὸς ὠφληκέναι φησίν, ἀλλʼ ἐμέ.
