ἐκπέπληγμαι δὲ μάλιστα ἐπὶ τοῖς μήτε γένει μήτε φιλίᾳ μηδὲν προσήκουσι, μισθοῦ δὲ συναπολογουμένοις ἀεὶ τοῖς κρινομένοις, εἰ λελήθασιν ὑμᾶς τῆς ἐσχάτης ὀργῆς δικαίως ἂν τυγχάνοντες. τὸ γὰρ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδικησάντων ἀπολογεῖσθαι τεκμήριόν ἐστιν ὅτι καὶ τῶν πεπραγμένων οἱ τοιοῦτοι ἂν μετάσχοιεν. οὐ γὰρ δεῖ καθʼ ὑμῶν γεγενῆσθαι δεινὸν ἀλλʼ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν νόμων καὶ τῆς δημοκρατίας.
