ἀσμένως δὲ αὐτῶν προσεμένων καὶ τὸ πρᾶγμα δωρεὰν ἡγησαμένων, μόνοι τῶν ἄλλων ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἐδέξασθε, καίτοι τῆς ἁλώσεως ὑμῖν, ὅπερ ἔφην, ἄρτι γεγενημένης καὶ τῶν πολεμίων ἐν τῇ πόλει τὰς οἰκίας μόνον εἰακότων· ἀλλʼ ὅμως δεινὸν ὑμῖν ἔδοξε τὸ ἐν ὁποίῳ δήποτε καιρῷ παραβῆναί τι τῶν δικαίων καὶ διὰ τὰς συμφορὰς τὰς καταλαβούσας ἔτι καὶ τὴν πίστιν ἀνελεῖν τῆν παρʼ αὑτοῖς· καὶ τἄλλα πάντα Ῥωμαίοις παραχωροῦντες οὐκ ἠξιώσατε καθʼ ἓν τοῦτο παραχωρῆσαι, τὸ μηδὲν αἰσχρὸν αἱρεῖσθαι κέρδους ἕνεκα.
