Τοῖς μὲν οὖν ἑκοῦσι πειθομένοις ἐξαρκεῖ ταῦτα. ἃ γὰρ ἡμάρτανον μαθόντες, μετατιθέσθων πρὸς τὸ βέλτιον. εἰ δέ τις τοιοῦτός ἐστιν οἷος ἀπειλῆς καὶ ζημίας δεῖσθαι, ἴστω τὴν μεγίστην ὑφέξων δίκην, εἰ πρὸ δεκάτης ἡμερινῆς ὥρας τολμήσει τε τῶν ἀπογινομένων τινὸς κηδεῦσαι σῶμα καὶ διὰ τῆς πόλεως ἐνεγκεῖν· ἀλλὰ δύντος ἡλίου καὶ αὖ πρὶν ἀνίσχειν ταῦτα γενέσθω, ἡ δὲ ἡμέρα καθαρὰ καθαροῖς τοῖς τε ἔργοις καὶ τοῖς Ὀλυμπίοις ἀνακείσθω θεοῖς.
