(20) ῥᾳδιον μὲν οὖν ἐστί μοι παῦσαι τῆς βλασφημίας αὐτοὺς μικρὰ πάνυ προεμένῳ, καὶ ποιῆσαι λέγειν ἐπαίνους ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν. ἀλλ’ αἰσχυνοίμην ἄν, εἰ τὴν πρὸς ἡμᾶς εὔνοιαν παρὰ τούτων φαινοίμην ὠνούμενος, οἳ πρὸς τοῖς ἄλλοις εἰς τοῦτο τόλμης ἥκουσιν, ὥστε καὶ περὶ Ἀμφιπόλεως πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀμφισβητεῖν ἐπιχειροῦσιν, ὑπὲρ ἧς τῶν ἀντιποιουμένων αὐτῆς οἶμαι πολὺ δικαιότερα λέγειν αὐτός.
