οὐδ᾽ αὖ οὕτως ἄπορος ἦν οὐδ᾽ ἄφιλος ὥστε οὐκ ἂν ἐξευρεῖν τὸν ἀπογράψοντα: ἀλλὰ τῶν ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἁπάντων ἡγησάμενος δεινότατον εἶναι ἀδικεῖσθαι μὲν αὐτός, ἕτερον δ᾽ ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἀδικουμένου τοὔνομα παρέχειν, καὶ εἶναι ἄν τι τούτοις τοῦτο τεκμήριον, ὁπότε ἐγὼ λέγοιμι τὴν ἔχθραν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ὡς ψεύδομαι （οὐ γὰρ ἄν ποτε ἕτερον ἀπογράψαι, εἴπερ ἐγὼ αὐτὸς ἠδικούμην）, διὰ μὲν ταῦτα ἀπέγραψα. ἀπογράψας δὲ ἐὰν ἀποδείξω τὰ ἀνδράποδα Ἀρεθουσίου ὄντα, οὗπερ ἐγέγραπτο εἶναι, τὰ μὲν τρία μέρη, ἃ ἐκ τῶν νόμων τῷ ἰδιώτῃ τῷ ἀπογράψαντι γίγνεται, τῇ πόλει ἀφίημι, αὐτῷ δ᾽ ἐμοὶ τετιμωρῆσθαι ἀρκεῖ μόνον.
