ἐχρῆν μὲν οὖν, ὦ ἄνδρες, ὅστις κατὰ δόσιν χρημάτων ἀμφισβητῶν ἡττηθείη, μὴ κατὰ τὸ τέλος ζημιοῦσθαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐφ᾽ ὅσα περ ληψόμενος ᾔει,1 τοσαῦτα τῇ πόλει ἀποτίνειν: οὕτω γὰρ <ἂν>2 οὔθ᾽ οἱ νόμοι κατεφρονοῦντο οὔτε τὰ γένη ὑβρίζετο, πρὸ δὲ τούτων οὐδ᾽ ἂν τῶν τεθνεώτων οὐδεὶς κατεψεύδετο. ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἅπασι καὶ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἁπάντων, καθ᾽ ὅ τι ἄν τις βούληται, ἀμφισβητεῖν ἔξεστιν, ὑμᾶς χρὴ περὶ αὐτῶν ὡς οἷόν τ᾽ ἀκριβέστατα ἐξετάζειν καὶ μηδὲν εἰς ὅσον δύνασθε παραλείπειν.
