τίνα ἄρα τρόπον ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν τὴν περὶ τῶν συμβεβηκότων ἀκοὴν δέξεται; τρισμακαρίῳ καὶ τρισευδαίμονι τὸν καθ’ ἡμᾶς βίον ἀβίωτον παρέσχησθε. τὸν πραθέντα τῆς δουλείας ἢ τοὺς πεπρακότας τῆς ὠμότητος οἰκτιεῖται; πολὺ μᾶλλον εὖ οἶδα ἡμᾶς, ἐπεὶ καὶ τοῦ ἀδικεῖσθαι τὸ ἀδικεῖν χαλεπώτερον· τὸ μὲν γὰρ δυσὶ βοηθεῖται τοῖς μεγίστοις, ἐλέῳ καὶ ἐλπίδι, τὸ δ’ οὐδετέρου μετέχον ἅπασιν ἡττᾶται τοῖς κριταῖς. ἀλλὰ τί ταῦτα θρηνῶν ἀπηχῶ;
