(9) ὧν ὁ τὰ παλαιὰ καινῶς καὶ τὰ καινὰ παλαιῶς ἐπαγγελλόμενος διδάσκειν λέγει νῦν οὔτε τὰς ἀρχαίας πράξεις οὔτε τὰς ὑπὸ σοῦ νεωστὶ διαγωνισθείσας, οὔτε τὰς τοῖς χρόνοις μεταξὺ γενομένας μεμύθευκε. καίτοι δοκεῖ τὰς μὲν οὐκ ἀκηκοέναι, τὰς δὲ οὐκ εἰδέναι, τῶν δὲ ἐπιλελῆσθαι. πρὸς δὲ τούτοις ἐπὶ πράξεις σε δικαίας προκαλῶν ὁ σοφιστὴς τὴν μὲν Ἀλκιβιάδου φυγὴν καὶ κάθοδον ἐπαινῶν ἐν παραδείγματι δεδήλωκε, τὰ δὲ μείζω καὶ καλλίω πράγματα τῷ πατρί σου πραχθέντα παρέλιπεν.
