οἴομαι δʼ αὐτόν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ἐπειδὰν τῶν ἄλλων ἀπορῇ, κακῶς τέ με ἐπιχειρήσειν λέγειν καὶ διαβάλλειν πειράσεσθαι, διεξιόνθʼ ὡς ἐγὼ μὲν καὶ ἐτράφην καὶ ἐπαιδεύθην καὶ ἔγημα ἐν τῇ τοῦ πατρὸς οἰκίᾳ, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐδενὸς τούτων μετέσχεν. ὑμεῖς δʼ ἐνθυμεῖσθʼ ὅτι ἐμὲ μὲν ἡ μήτηρ παῖδα καταλιποῦσα ἐτελεύτησεν, ὥστε μοι ἱκανὸν ἦν ἀπὸ τοῦ τόκου τῆς προικὸς καὶ τρέφεσθαι καὶ παιδεύεσθαι·
