τούτων δίκην διδόναι. δεινὸν δέ μοι δοκεῖ εἶναι, εἰ τοῖς εἰποῦσι περὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ ὑμέτερον μὴ τὰ ἄριστα ὁ μηδὲν εἰπὼν ταὐτὰ πείσεται, καὶ ἐν μὲν ἑβδομήκοντα ἔτεσιν οὐδὲν ἐξήμαρτεν εἰς ὑμᾶς, ἐν ὀκτὼ δʼ ἡμέραις· καὶ οἱ μὲν τὸν βίον ἅπαντα πονηροὶ ὄντες χρηστοὶ ἐν τῷ λογιστηρίῳ γεγένηται, πείσαντες τοὺς κατηγόρους, οἳ δʼ ἀεὶ ὑμῖν χρηστοὶ ἦσαν, οὗτοι πονηροί.
