τὸ μὲν ἐμέ ἔφη πρὸς ὑμῶν ἀναιρεθῆναι οὐδέν τι μέγα ἢ βαρὺ πρεσβύτῃ ἐς μακρὸν γῆρας ἐνδόξως ἐλάσαντι: παντὶ γὰρ ἀνθρώπων βίῳ ἀνάγκη τέλος ἐπιτεθῆναι: τὸ δὲ ὑμᾶς, φύλακας καὶ φρουροὺς δοκοῦντας εἶναι τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τοὺς ἔξωθεν κινδύνους ἀπείργοντας, αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι φονεῖς, καὶ μὴ μόνον ἐμφυλίῳ ἀλλὰ καὶ βασιλείῳ μιᾶναι τὰς δεξιὰς αἵματι, ὁρᾶτε μὴ πρὸς τὸ νῦν ἀνόσιον καὶ ὕστερον ὑμῖν ἐπικίνδυνον ᾖ. οὐ γάρ τι ἐμαυτῷ σύνοιδα λυπήσαντι
