ῥᾴδιον τὸ ἀληθές, βραχὺς ὁ ἔλεγχος. εἰ μὲν ὁμολογεῖ τὰ ἐν τῇ εἰσαγγελίᾳ ἀληθῆ καὶ ὅσια εἶναι, τί οὐ τῆς ἐκ τῶν νόμων τιμωρίας τυγχάνει; εἰ δὲ μή φησι ταῦτα ἀληθῆ εἶναι, τί οὐ παραδέδωκε τοὺς οἰκέτας καὶ τὰς θεραπαίνας; προσήκει γὰρ τὸν ὑπὲρ προδοσίας κινδυνεύοντα καὶ παραδιδόναι βασανίζειν καὶ μηδένα τῶν ἀκριβεστάτων ἐλέγχων φεύγειν.
