ὑμεῖς οὖν, ἐάν τι τοιοῦτον τεχνάζῃ, μὴ ἐπιτρέπετε αὐτῷ, ἀλλ᾽ ἐξελέγχετε, καὶ ὅ τι ἂν μὴ ἕκαστος ὑμῶν εἰδῇ, μηδὲ τὸν πλησίον δοκιμαζέτω εἰδέναι, ἀλλ᾽ ἀξιούτω τοῦτον ἀποδεικνύναι σαφῶς ὑπὲρ ὧν ἂν λέγῃ, καὶ μὴ ὑμᾶς φάσκοντα εἰδέναι, περὶ ὧν αὐτὸς οὐδὲν ἕξει εἰπεῖν δίκαιον, ἀποδιδράσκειν τὴν ἀλήθειαν, ἐπεὶ καὶ ἐγώ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, πάντων ὑμῶν εἰδότων ὃν τρόπον ἀναγκασθεὶς ὁ πατήρ μου ἐποιήσατο τούτους, οὐδὲν ἧττον δικάζομαι νῦν αὐτοῖς καὶ μάρτυρας ὑποδίκους παρέσχημαι.
