εἶτα ἐν τοιούτοις ὄντι σοι ὀνομάτων μέλει καὶ
γελᾷς καὶ τῶν ἄλλων καταπτύεις, εἰκότως: οὐ γὰρ ἂν ἅπαντες ὅμοιά σοι λέγειν δυναίμεθα.
πόθεν ; τίς οὕτως ἐν λόγοις μεγαλότολμος, ὡς ἐπὶ μὲν τοὺς τρεῖς μοιχοὺς ἀντὶ ξίφους τρίαιναν αἰτεῖν ; τὸν δὲ Θεόπομπον ἐπὶ τῷ Τρικαράνῳ
κρίνοντα φάναι τριγλώχινι λόγῳ καθῃρηκέναι
αὐτὸν τὰς προὐχούσας πόλεις ; καὶ πάλιν, ἐκτριαινῶσαι αὐτὸν τὴν Ἑλλάδα καὶ εἶναι Κέρβερον
ἐν τοῖς λόγοις ; πρῴην γὰρ καὶ λύχνον ἅψας ἐζήτεις ἀδελφόν τινα, οἶμαι, ἀπολωλότα: καὶ ἄλλα μυρία, ὧν οὐδὲ μεμνῆσθαι ἄξιον, ἢ μόνου ἐκείνου, ὅπερ οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἀπεμνημόνευον.
πλούσιός τις, οἶμαι, καὶ δύο πένητες ἦσαν ἐχθροί: εἶτα μεταξὺ περὶ τοῦ πλουσίου λέγων, ‘ ἀπέκτεινεν,’ ἔφης, ‘ θάτερον τῶν πενήτων.’ γελασάντων δέ, ὡς τὸ εἰκός, τῶν παρόντων, ἐπανορθούμενος δὴ σὺ καὶ ἀνατιθέμενος τὸ διημαρτημένον, ‘οὐ μὲν οὖν,’ ἔφης, ‘ ἀλλὰ ἅτερον αὐτῶν ἀπέκτεινεν.’ ἐῶ τὰ ἀρχαῖα, τὸ τριῶν μηνοῖν καὶ
τὸ ἀνηνεμία καὶ τὸ πέταμαι καὶ ἐκχύνειν καὶ ὅσα ἄλλα καλὰ τοῖς σοῖς λόγοις ἐπανθεῖ.
