δὲ τούτου ὑμῖν ἐρῶ. οἱ μὲν ἄλλοι πάντεϲ Ἕλληνεϲ ἐκ τῆϲ ϲφετέραϲ αὐτῶν μεταϲτάντεϲ οἰκοῦϲιν ἕκαϲτοϲ αὐτῶν ἐξελάϲαντεϲ ἑτέρουϲ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐξελαθέντεϲ ὑφ’ ἑτέρων. καὶ κατὰ τοῦτο δύο φέρεϲθε καυχήματα ἀρετῆϲ· οὔτε γὰρ ἐξηλάθητε ἀπὸ τῆϲ ϲφετέραϲ αὐτῶν ὑπὸ οὐδαμῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὔτ’ ἐξελάϲαντεϲ ἑτέρουϲ αὐτοὶ οἰκεῖτε· καὶ κατὰ μὲν τὸ μὴ ἐξελαθῆναι ἀνδρείαϲ ϲτέφανον τὴν πατρίδα ἔχετε, κατὰ δὲ τὸ μὴ ἐξελάϲαι δικαιοϲύνηϲ.
