εἶεν· οὐκοῦν ἐπὶ μὲν γυναικὸς ἢ θυγατρὸς οὐδʼ ἀκούοντες ἀνέχεσθε, πόλιν δὲ τοιαύτην καὶ πατρίδα οἰκεῖν οὐ δεινὸν ὑμῖν δοκεῖ; καὶ ταῦθʼ, ὃ τῷ παντὶ χαλεπώτερον, οὐ τοιαύτην οὖσαν ἐξ ἀρχῆς, ἀλλʼ ἣν αὐτοὶ ποιεῖτε. καίτοι μητρόπολις ὑμῶν ἐστιν ἡ πόλις, ὥστε καὶ τὴν σεμνότητα καὶ τὸ ἀξίωμα ἔχει τὸ τῆσμητρός· ἀλλʼ ὅμως οὔτε τοῦ ὀνόματος οὔτε τῆς ἀρχαιότητος οὔτε τῆς δόξης φείδεσθε.
