ἴσως δʼ ἐρεῖ ὡς οὐκ ἔστι τῶν ἀπορρήτων, ἐάν τις φῇ τὸν πατέρα ἀπεκτονέναι· τὸν γὰρ νόμον οὐ ταῦτʼ ἀπαγορεύειν, ἀλλʼ ἀνδροφόνον οὐκ ἐᾶν λέγειν. ἐγὼ δʼ οἶμαι δεῖν οὐ περὶ τῶν ὀνομάτων διαφέρεσθαι, ἀλλὰ περὶ τῆς τῶν ἔργων διανοίας, καὶ πάντας εἰδέναι ὅτι ὁπόσοι ἀπεκτόνασί τινας, καὶ ἀνδροφόνοι τῶν αὐτῶν εἰσι, καὶ ὅσοι ἀνδροφόνοι τινός, καὶ ἀπεκτόνασι τοῦτον.
