ἐπειδὰν τοίνυν τις αὐτὸν ἔρηται ‘καὶ τί δίκαιον ἕξεις λέγειν πρὸς Νικόβουλον;’ μισοῦσι, φησίν, Ἀθηναῖοι τοὺς δανείζοντας: Νικόβουλος δ᾽ ἐπίφθονός ἐστι, καὶ ταχέως βαδίζει, καὶ μέγα φθέγγεται, καὶ βακτηρίαν φορεῖ: ταῦτα δ᾽ ἐστὶν ἅπαντα, φησίν, πρὸς ἐμοῦ. καὶ ταῦτ᾽ οὐκ αἰσχύνεται λέγων, οὐδὲ τοὺς ἀκούοντας οἴεται μανθάνειν ὅτι συκοφαντοῦντός ἐστι λογισμὸς οὗτος, οὐκ ἀδικουμένου.
