εἰ μὴ λωποδύτην ὠνόμαζεν. οὐδʼ εἴ τις παῖδʼ ἐξῆγεν, ὡς ἀνδραποδιστήν· καὶ αὐτὸς μὲν ἐδικάσω κακηγορίας τῷ εἰπόντι σε ῥῖψαι τὴν ἀσπίδα. καίτοι ἐν τῷ νόμῳ οὐ γέγραπται, ἀλλʼ ἐάν τις φῇ ἀποβεβληκέναι. πῶς οὖν οὐ δεινόν, ἐὰν μέν τις σὲ ἔπῃ, τοὺς νόμους ἐκλαμβάνειν οὕτως ὥσπερ ἐγὼ νῦν, καὶ τιμωρεῖσθαι τοὺς ἐχθρούς, ἐὰν δʼ αὐτὸς εἴπῃς, οὐκ ἀξιοῦν δοῦναι δίκην;
