ἀπορῶ δʼ ὅ τι χρήσωμαι τοῖς ἐπιλοίποις· ἐπιστὰς γὰρ ἐπὶ τὰ Θησέως ἔργα καὶ λέγειν ἀρξάμενος περὶ αὐτῶν ὀκνῶ μὲν μεταξὺ παύσασθαι καὶ παραλιπεῖν τήν τε Σκίρωνος καὶ Κερκύονος καὶ τῶν ἄλλων τῶν τοιούτων παρανομίαν, πρὸς οὓς ἀνταγωνιστὴς γενόμενος ἐκεῖνος πολλῶν καὶ μεγάλων συμφορῶν τοὺς Ἕλληνας ἀπήλλαξεν, αἰσθάνομαι δʼ ἐμαυτὸν ἔξω φερόμενον τῶν καιρῶν καὶ δέδοικα μή τισι δόξω περὶ τούτου μᾶλλον σπουδάζειν ἢ περὶ ἧς τὴν ἀρχὴν ὑπεθέμην.
