τὴν δὲ ἄνθρωπον περὶ τῆς αἰκείας βασανίζεσθαι, ἐφ᾽ ᾗ ἐγὼ διώκω δίκῃ τὸν Θεόφημον, ἐπειδὴ τότε οὐ παρέσχεν, καὶ τὸν ἔλεγχον ἐξ ὧν ὁ Θεόφημος ἔλεγεν τότε ἐξαπατῶν τοὺς δικαστάς, ἐκ τούτων γίγνεσθαι; ἔφη γὰρ ἐν τῇ δίκῃ τῆς αἰκείας τοὺς μὲν μάρτυρας τοὺς παραγενομένους καὶ μαρτυροῦντας τὰ γενόμενα ἐν γραμματείῳ κατὰ τὸν νόμον ψευδεῖς εἶναι καὶ ὑπ᾽ ἐμοῦ παρεσκευασμένους, τὴν δ᾽ ἄνθρωπον τὴν παραγενομένην ἐρεῖν τἀληθῆ, οὐκ ἐκ γραμματείου μαρτυροῦσαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τῆς ἰσχυροτάτης μαρτυρίας, βασανιζομένην, ὁπότερος ἦρξε χειρῶν ἀδίκων.
