καὶ δὴ κατὰ τοῦτο τὸ χωρίον, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, γενομένης ἐπομβρίας συνέβη τὸ ὕδωρ ἐμβαλεῖν: ἀμεληθὲν δ᾽ οὔπω τοῦ πατρὸς ἔχοντος αὐτό, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνθρώπου δυσχεραίνοντος ὅλως τοῖς τόποις καὶ μᾶλλον ἀστικοῦ, δὶς καὶ τρὶς ἐμβαλὸν τὸ ὕδωρ τά τε χωρί᾽ ἐλυμήνατο καὶ μᾶλλον ὡδοποίει. διὸ δὴ ταῦθ᾽ ὁ πατὴρ ὁρῶν, ὡς ἐγὼ τῶν εἰδότων ἀκούω, καὶ τῶν γειτόνων ἐπινεμόντων ἅμα καὶ βαδιζόντων διὰ τοῦ χωρίου, τὴν αἱμασιὰν περιῳκοδόμησεν ταύτην.
