ἆρʼ ἄξιον ὀργισθῆναι τῷ τοιαῦτʼ εἰρηκότι καὶ βοηθῆσαι τῷ πατρί, ὡς καὶ ἐκείνου κακῶς ἀκηκοότος; τί γὰρ ἂν τούτου ἀνιαρότερον γένοιτο αὐτῷ, ἢ τεθνάναι μὲν ὑπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν, αἰτίαν δʼ ἔχειν ὑπὸ τῶν παίδων ἀνῃρῆσθαι ; οὗ ἔτι καὶ νῦν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, τῆς ἀρετῆς τὰ μνημεῖα πρὸς τοῖς ὑμετέροις ἱεροῖς ἀνάκειται, τὰ δὲ τούτου καὶ τοῦ τούτου πατρὸς τῆς κακίας πρὸς τοῖς τῶν πολεμίων· οὕτω σύμφυτος αὐτοῖς ἡ δειλία.
