ἔχων τοίνυν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, καὶ ἄλλα πολλὰ καὶ δεινὰ λέγειν, ἃ οὗτος καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ καὶ εἰς ὑμῶν ἐνίους ἡμάρτηκεν, ἀναγκάζομαι διὰ τὸ ὀλίγον εἶναί μοι τὸ ὕδωρ παραλιπεῖν. νομίζω δὲ καὶ ἐκ τούτων ὑμῖν ἱκανῶς ἐπιδεδεῖχθαι, ὡς οὐ τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν, ἀγῶνα μέν μοι περὶ φυγῆς κατασκευάζειν καὶ δίκας οὐδὲν προσηκούσας δικάζεσθαι, πρὸς δὲ τὸν διαιτητὴν ἀπαντᾶν ἀπαράσκευον. ὥστε περὶ μὲν τούτων ἂν ἐπιχειρῇ λέγειν, οὐκ οἴομαι ὑμᾶς ἀποδέξεσθαι.
