Omnes declamatores aiebat uoluisse aliquid noui dicere illo loco quo nominabat nouerca filiam consciam. dixit, inquit, HYBREAS: ti/ ou)=n; e)yeu/sato kata\ th=s i)di/as qugatro/s; ou)/k: a)lla\ kata\ th=s e)mh=s. Hanc sententiam FVSCVS ARELLIVS, cum esset ex Asianis, non casu dixit, sed transtulit ad uerbum quidem: quid ergo? inquit, mentita est de filia sua? immo de mea. Modestius hanc sententiam uertit HATERIVS : quid ergo? mentita est? quidni illa mentiretur de accusatoris sui filia?
