ἡγοῦμαι τοίνυν, ὦ βουλή, ἐμὸν ἔργον ἀποδεῖξαι ὡς ἐπειδὴ τὸ χωρίον ἐκτησάμην, οὔτ᾽ ἐλάα οὔτε σηκὸς ἐνῆν ἐν αὐτῷ. νομίζω γὰρ τοῦ μὲν προτέρου χρόνου, οὐδ᾽ εἰ πάλαι ἐνῆσαν μορίαι, οὐκ ἂν δικαίως ζημιοῦσθαι: εἰ γὰρ μὴ δι᾽ ἡμᾶς εἰσιν ἠφανισμέναι, οὐδὲν προσήκει περὶ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἁμαρτημάτων ὡς ἀδικοῦντας κινδυνεύειν.
