[125]
ἐψηφίσαντο γὰρ καὶ ὤμοσαν,
ἐάν τις τυραννίδι ἐπιτιθῆται1 ἢ τὴν πόλιν προδιδῷ ἢ τὸν δῆμον καταλύῃ, τὸν
αἰσθανόμενον καθαρὸν εἶναι ἀποκτείναντα, καὶ κρεῖττον ἔδοξεν αὐτοῖς τοὺς
τὴν αἰτίαν ἔχοντας τεθνάναι μᾶλλον ἢ πειραθέντας μετὰ ἀληθείας αὐτοὺς
δουλεύειν: ἀρχὴν γὰρ οὕτως ᾤοντο δεῖν ζῆν τοὺς πολίτας, ὥστε μηδ᾽ εἰς
ὑποψίαν ἐλθεῖν μηδένα τούτων τῶν ἀδικημάτων. καὶ μοι λαβὲ τὸ ψήφισμα.“
Ψήφισμα
