ταῦτα δὲ ἐκείνου λέγοντος καὶ πολλὰ πρὸς τούτοις, ὁ μὲν ὄχλος ἠγριοῦτο· ἐγὼ δὲ ἠπόρουν καὶ ἐδεδοίκειν μή τί με ἐργάσωνται κακόν. παρελθὼν δὲ ἄλλος τις, ὡς ἐφαίνετο, ἐπιεικὴς ἄνθρωπος ἀπό τε τῶν λόγων οὓς εἶπε καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ σχήματος πρῶτον μὲν ἠξίου σιωπῆσαι τὸ πλῆθος· καὶ ἐσιώπησαν· ἔπειτα εἶπε τῇ φωνῇ πρᾴως ὅτι οὐδὲν ἀδικοῦσιν οἱ τὴν ἀργὸν τῆς χώρας ἐργαζόμενοι καὶ κατασκευάζοντες, ἀλλὰ τοὐναντίον ἐπαίνου δικαίως ἂν τυγχάνοιεν·
