ἐγὼ δ᾽ 1 εἴ τι τοιοῦτον2 ἔπραττον, πολλὰς ἂν καὶ μεγάλας ἐμαυτῷ ζημίας γενομένας ἀποφήναιμι: ὃς πρῶτον μὲν μεθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἐξέκοπτον τὸν σηκόν, ὥσπερ οὐ πάντας λαθεῖν δέον, ἀλλὰ πάντας Ἀθηναίους εἰδέναι. καὶ εἰ μὲν αἰσχρὸν ἦν μόνον τὸ πρᾶγμα, ἴσως ἄν τις τῶν παριόντων ἠμέλησε: νῦν δ᾽ οὐ περὶ αἰσχύνης ἀλλὰ τῆς μεγίστης ζημίας ἐκινδύνευον.
