[19]
μόνον δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ οἷόν τε ὑμῖν ἐστιν ἀμνημονῆσαι: ἐν γὰρ τῇ αὐτῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ καὶ οἱ πρέσβεις ὑμῖν οἱ παρ᾽ ἐκείνου ἥκοντες διελέγοντο καὶ τὸ ψήφισμα ἐγράφη. ὥστ᾽ οὐχ οἷόν τε, παραχρῆμα τῶν λόγων εἰρημένων καὶ εὐθὺς τοῦ ψηφίσματος ἐπαναγιγνωσκομένου, τὴν καταψευδομένην γνώμην τῶν πρέσβεων, ταύτην ὑμᾶς χειροτονῆσαι: ὥστε τοῦτο μὲν οὐ κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ, ἀλλὰ καθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἐπέσταλκεν, ὡς ὑμεῖς περὶ ὧν οὐκ ἠκούσατε, περὶ τούτων ἀποκρινάμενοι τὴν γνώμην ἀπεστείλατε.
