ἔτι δὲ παῖς ὢν ὑπὸ τῶν τριάκοντʼ ἐκ τῆς πόλεως ἐξέπεσον. κατελθόντων δὲ τῶν ἐκ Πειραιῶς καὶ τῶν ἄλλων κομιζομένων τὰς οὐσίας ἐγὼ μόνος τὴν γῆν, ἣν ἡμῖν ἀπέδωκεν ὁ δῆμος ἀντὶ τῶν δημευθέντων χρημάτων, διὰ τὴν τῶν ἐχθρῶν δύναμιν ἀπεστερήθην. τοσαῦτα δὲ προδεδυστυχηκὼς καὶ δὶς τὴν οὐσίαν ἀπολωλεκὼς νυνὶ πέντε ταλάντων φεύγω δίκην. καὶ τὸ μὲν ἔγκλημʼ ἐστὶ περὶ χρημάτων, ἀγωνίζομαι δʼ εἰ χρὴ μετεῖναί μοι τῆς πόλεως.
