(14) τοσαύτην δέ μου ποιουμένου πρόνοιαν τῆς ὑμετέρας πόλεως, καὶ διδόντος αὐτῇ τὴν νῆσον, οἱ ῥήτορες λαμβάνειν μὲν οὐκ εἴων, ἀπολαβεῖν δὲ συνεβούλευον, ὅπως ὑπομείνας μὲν τὸ προστασσόμενον τὴν ἀλλοτρίαν ἔχειν ὁμολογῶ, μὴ προέμενος δὲ τὸ χωρίον ὕποπτος γένωμαι τῷ πλήθει. γνοὺς ἐγὼ ταῦτα προυκαλούμην κριθῆναι περὶ τούτων πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ἵν’ εἰ μὲν ἐμὴ γνωσθῇ, παρ’ ἐμοῦ δοθῇ τὸ χωρίον ὑμῖν, ἐὰν δὲ ὑμετέρα κριθῇ, τότε ἀποδῶ τῷ δήμῳ.
