Κεφ. κδʹ. Ὅτι οἱ ταῦτα παρανομήσαντες καὶ ἐντεῦθεν δίκην διδόασι Νῦν γοῦν οὗτοι μὲν φαιδρῷ τῷ προσώπῳ, ἐλευθέροις τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς, παρρησίᾳ ἀφάτῳ κεχρημένοι, εἰς ἀγορὰν ἐμβάλλουσιν, ἐν οἰκίαις στρέφονται, πρὸς τὴν σύναξιν αὐτομολοῦσιν· οἱ δὲ ταῦτα ἐργασάμενοι, καθ' ἕκαστον τῶν μηχανημάτων ὧν προσάγουσιν, ἐγκαλυπτόμενοι καὶ πονηρὸν ἔνδον ἔχοντες συνειδός, τρέμοντες, δεδοικότες, οὕτω περιίασι. Καὶ καθάπερ τὰ δυσθάνατα τῶν θηρίων μετὰ προτέραν καὶ δευτέραν πληγὴν σφοδροτέρως ἐπιπίπτοντα ταῖς αἰχμαῖς τῶν δοράτων, χαλεπωτέραν καθ' ἑαυτῶν ὠθεῖ τὴν πληγήν, τὰ τραύματα εἰς αὐτὰ τὰ σπλάγχνα δεχόμενα· καὶ τὰ κύματα ταῖς πέτραις ῥηγνύμενα, τῇ σφοδροτέρᾳ ῥύμῃ ἑαυτὰ ἀφανίζει καὶ διαλύει· οὕτω δὴ καὶ οὗτοι δι' ὧν ἐπιβουλεύουσιν, ἑαυτοῖς μᾶλλον ἢ ἑτέροις τὰ βάραθρα ἀνορύττουσιν.
