(13) ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Ἰσοκράτης, ἐπειδὴ νέος μὲν ὢν εἰς τὸν δῆμον μετὰ Τιμοθέου καθ’ ὑμῶν ἐπιστολὰς αἰσχρὰς ἔγραφε, νυνὶ δὲ πρεσβύτης ὢν ὥσπερ ἑκὼν ἢ φθονῶν τὰ πλεῖστα τῶν ὑμῖν ὑπαρχόντων ἀγαθῶν παραλέλοιπεν, ἀπέσταλκε δέ σοι λόγον, ὅν τὸ μὲν πρῶτον ἔγραψεν Ἀγησιλάῳ, μικρὰ δὲ διασκευάσας ὕστερον ἐπώλει τῷ Σικέιλίας τυράννῳ Διονυσίῳ, τὸ δὲ τρίτον τὰ μὲν ἀφελὼν τὰ δὲ προσθεὶς ἐμνήστευσεν Ἀλεξάνδρῳ τῷ Θετταλῷ, τὸ δὲ τελευταῖον νῦν πρὸς σὲ γλίσχρως αὐτὸν ἀπηκόντισεν. βουλοίμην δ’ ἂν χωρῆσαι τὸ βιβλίον ἀναμνῆσαι τὰς ἐν τῷ λόγῳ πρὸς σὲ πεμφθείσας ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ προφάσεις.
