ἀπολογουμένων δὲ ὅσα ὁ καιρὸς καὶ περί τε σοῦ τοῦ πατρὸς διεξιόντων καὶ τῶν ἀπολειπομένων ἀδελφῶν, ἑνὸς μὲν τοῦ τεθνεῶτος, ἑτέρου δὲ τοῦ παρὰ σοὶ διατρίβοντος, ὃν ἔφαμεν ἔτι νέον ὄντα διὰ τὴν ἡλικίαν οἴκοι καταμεῖναι, πάντα ἀπαμπίσχοντες καὶ ἀπογυμνοῦντες τὰ τῆς συγγενείας εἰς τὸ ἀνύποπτον οὐδὲν ἠνύσαμεν, ἀλλ’ ἔφη μόνην ἂν αὐτῷ πίστιν ἀψευδοῦς ὁμολογίας γενέσθαι τὴν ὡς αὐτὸν ἄφιξιν τοῦ νεωτάτου παιδός, οὗ χάριν καὶ τὸν δεύτερον κατεσχηκέναι ῥύσιόν τε καὶ ἐνέχυρον ἐκείνου.
