οἶμαι δʼ ὑμᾶς, εἴ τις θεῶν φανερὸν ὑμῖν ποιήσειε τὸ μέλλον αὖθίς ποτε λυπήσειν τὴν πόλιν, πάντως φυλάξεσθαι τοῦτο, ἐν ὑμῖν γε ὄν· εἶτα τοῦ μὲν ἑτέρους βλάψοντος οὐκ ἀμελήσετε, ἐπειδὴ μετὰ ταῦτα ἔσται· τὸ δὲ ὑμᾶς αὐτοὺς τὰ μέγιστα ἀδικοῦν ἐάσετε, ὅτι πρότερον ἤρξατο; τουτὶ μὲν οὖν παντελῶς εὔηθες, εἴ τις οἴεται μηδέποτε δεῖν κωλῦσαι τὸ συνήθως μέν, ἀτόπως δὲ γιγνόμενον.
