ταύτην τοίνυν τὴν πρόκλησιν οὐ δεξάμενος, ἀλλʼ ἐνεδρεύων με καὶ τὴν δίκην ὅτι πλεῖστον χρόνον ἐκκρούειν βουλόμενος, κατηγορήσει, ὡς ἐγὼ πυνθάνομαι, οὐ μόνον ἐμοῦ, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ πατρός, λέγων ὡς ἐκεῖνος ἐμοὶ χαριζόμενος πολλὰ τοῦτον ἠδίκησεν. ὑμεῖς δʼ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, μάλιστα μέν, ὥσπερ αὐτοὶ οὐκ ἂν ἀξιώσαιτε κακῶς ἀκούειν ὑπὸ τῶν ὑμετέρων παίδων, οὕτω μηδὲ τούτῳ ἐπιτρέπετε περὶ τοῦ πατρὸς βλασφημεῖν·
