(καὶ μὰ τὸν Δία καὶ τὸν Ἀπόλλω καὶ τὴν Δήμητρα, οὐ ψεύσομαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ἀλλʼ ἃ τοῦ πατρὸς ἤκουον, διηγήσομαι ὑμῖν.) ἔξεστί σοι ἔφη ἐμέ τε εὖ ποιῆσαι καὶ αὐτὸν μηδὲν βλαβῆναι. προξενῶν μὲν γὰρ τυγχάνω τῶν Ἡρακλεωτῶν, βούλοιο δʼ ἄν, ὡς οἶμαι ἐγώ, ἐμὲ μᾶλλον τὸ ἀργύριον λαβεῖν ἢ τὸν μέτοικον ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἐν Σκίρῳ κατοικοῦντα καὶ οὐδενὸς ἄξιον. συμβέβηκεν δὲ τοιοῦτόν τι· ὁ Λύκων τυγχάνει ὢν καὶ ἄπαις καὶ κληρονόμον οὐδένα οἴκοι καταλιπών, ὡς ἐγὼ πυνθάνομαι.
