καθάπερ οἶμαι τῶν πομπευόντων αὐτὸς ἕκαστος ὀφθῆναι ἐπιθυμῶν κατὰ τοῦτʼ ἐσπούδακεν, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ, μικρὸν δὲ ἀποστὰς ἔλυσε τὸ σχῆμα καὶ τῶν ἄλλων εἷς ἐστι καὶ ὅπως δήποτε ἄπεισιν. ἐχρῆν μέντοι τὸν μὲν πρυτανεύοντα τῆς ἀρχῆς τοὺς ἓξ μῆνας ἡγεῖσθαι μέτρον· τοῦτο γὰρ ὁ νόμος κελεύει· τὸν μέντοι γε πολιτευόμενον τῆς εὐνοίας τῆς πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ τῆς ὑπὲρ τῶν κοινῶν ἐπιμελείας καὶ σπουδῆς μὴ μὰ Δία καιρόν τινα ἐξαίρετον ἔχειν, καὶ ταῦτα βραχὺν οὕτως, ἀλλʼ εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἀποδύεσθαι καὶ ἀεὶ παραμένειν.
