ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, οὕτως. περὶ ἡμῶν γάρ ἐστι ψῆφος ὑμῖν, καὶ οὐ περὶ χρημάτων. ἕως μὲν γὰρ εἰρήνη, ἦν ἡμῖν φανερὰ οὐσία, καὶ ἦν ὁ πατὴρ ἀγαθὸς γεωργός· ἐπειδὴ δὲ εἰσέβαλον οἱ πολέμιοι, πάντων τούτων ἐστερήθημεν. ὥστε αὐτῶν τούτων ἕνεκα πρόθυμοι ἦμεν εἰς ὑμᾶς, εἰδότες ὅτι χρήματα μὲν ἡμῖν οὐκ εἴη ὁπόθεν ἐκτίσομεν, αὐτοὶ δὲ πρόθυμοι ὄντες εἰς ὑμᾶς ἀξιοῦμεν εὑρίσκεσθαι χάριν.
