οὐμενοῦν· ἀλλὰ ἐνστήσονται πάντες εἰς ὑμᾶς παριόντες, εἰς τὸν δῆμον βοῶντες. ἆρʼ οὖν, οὐδʼ ἂν τοιοῦτον συμβῇ, κωλύσετε οὐδὲ ἐπιστραφήσεσθε; ἐγὼμὲν οὐδὲν ἂν τοιοῦτον περὶ ὑμῶν ὑπολάβοιμι, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ νῦν φημι λανθάνειν αὐτὸ γιγνόμενον, ἀλλʼ οὐκ ἐάσετε γνόντες· οὐκοῦν νῦν γε ἐπίστασθε δήπουθεν τὸ πρᾶγμα ὅλον, ὥστε καθάπαξ κωλῦσαι προσήκει. νὴ Δία, ἀλλʼ οὐχ ὅμοιόν ἐστι, πολλῶν ὄντων οἷς μηδεὶς προσήκεικαὶ τοῦ πράγματος συμβαίνοντος ἐπʼ οὐδενὶ τῶν γνωρίμων.
