εἰ τοὺς μὲν οὐχ οἵους τε ὄντας ἐξάρνους εἶναι μὴ οὐ χρήματα ἔχειν ὑμῶν, τούτους μὲν ἀφεῖτε ἀνδρὶ ἐξαιτουμένῳ, ἡμῖν δὲ αὐτοῖς τε προθύμοις γεγενημένοις περὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ ὑμέτερον, καὶ τοῦ πατρὸς οὐδὲν ὑμᾶς ἠδικηκότος, οὐ χαριεῖσθε. καὶ εἰ μὲν ξένος τις ἐλθὼν ὑμᾶς ἢ χρήματα ᾔτει ἢ εὐεργέτης ἀναγραφῆναι ἠξίου, ἔδοτε ἂν αὐτῷ· ἡμῖν δὲ οὐ δώσετε ἡμᾶς αὐτοὺς ἐπιτίμους ὑμῖν γενέσθαι;
