πρῶτον μὲν οὖν καὶ δεύτερον καὶ μέγιστον, διὰ παντὸς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς εἰς τέλος ἀναμάρτητος ὁ παροιχόμενος βίος ἐστί μοι, καθαρὸς πάσης αἰτίας· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἂν οὐδεμίαν αἰτίαν κακότητος ἀληθῆ πρὸς ὑμᾶς περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰπεῖν ἔχοι. καὶ γὰρ οὐδ᾿ αὐτὸς ὁ κατήγορος οὐδεμίαν ἀπόδειξιν εἴρηκεν ὧν εἴρηκεν· οὕτω λοιδορίαν οὐκ ἔχουσαν ἔλεγχον ὁ λόγος αὐτῷ δύναται.
