εἰ μὲν οὖν ἐπεπόνθει τι τούτων Πανταίνετος ὧν νῦν ἐγκαλεῖ, κατ᾽ ἐκείνους ἂν τοὺς χρόνους εὐθὺς ἐφαίνετό μοι δικαζόμενος, ἐν οἷς τὸ συμβόλαιον ἡμῖν πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἐγένετο, οὐσῶν μὲν ἐμμήνων τούτων τῶν δικῶν, ἐπιδημούντων δ᾽ ἡμῶν ἀμφοτέρων, ἁπάντων δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων εἰωθότων παρ᾽ αὐτὰ τἀδικήματα μᾶλλον ἢ χρόνων ἐγγεγενημένων ἀγανακτεῖν. ἐπειδὴ δ᾽ οὐδὲν ἠδικημένος, ὡς καὶ ὑμεῖς οἶδ᾽ ὅτι φήσετε, ἐπειδὰν τὰ πεπραγμέν᾽ ἀκούσητε, τῷ κατορθῶσαι τὴν πρὸς Εὔεργον δίκην ἐπηρμένος συκοφαντεῖ, ὑπόλοιπόν ἐστι παρ᾽ ὑμῖν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ἐπιδείξανθ᾽ ὡς οὐδ᾽ ὁτιοῦν ἀδικῶ, καὶ μάρτυρας ὧν ἂν λέγω παρασχόμενον, πειρᾶσθαι σῴζειν ἐμαυτόν.
