‘τί λέγεις, ἄνθρωπε;’ εὐθέως ὁ Πρῶτος （τοῦτο γὰρ ἦν τοὔνομα τῷ τὸν σῖτον εἰσαγαγόντι, τῷ τὰ χρήμαθ᾽ ἡμῖν ὀφείλοντι） ‘σὺ χρήματα δέδωκας Ἡγεστράτῳ, μεθ᾽ οὗ τοὺς ἄλλους ἐξηπάτηκας, ὅπως δανείσηται, καὶ σοὶ πολλάκις λέγοντος ὅτι τοῖς προϊεμένοις ἀπολεῖται τὰ χρήματα; σὺ οὖν ταῦτ᾽ ἀκούων αὐτὸς ἂν προήκω;’ ἔφη καὶ ἀναιδὴς ἦν. ‘οὐκοῦν εἰ τὰ μάλιστ᾽ ἀληθῆ λέγεις,’ τῶν παρόντων τις ὑπέλαβεν, ‘ὁ σὸς κοινωνὸς καὶ πολίτης, ὁ Ἡγέστρατος, ὡς ἔοικεν, ἐξηπάτηκέν σε, καὶ ὑπὲρ τούτων αὐτὸς αὑτῷ θανάτου τιμήσας ἀπόλωλεν.’
