τὸν τὰ θεῖα καὶ
μέγιστα πεπιστευμένον οὐκ εἰκὸς ἐστιν; ἢ
ὅτι πᾶς ὅρκος εἰς κατάραν τελευτᾷ τῆς ἐπιορκίας, κατάρα δὲ δύσφημον
καὶ σκυθρωπόν; ὅθεν οὐδ᾽ ἄλλοις ἐπαρᾶσθαι νομίζεται τοὺς ἱερεῖς.
ἐπῃνέθη γοῦν Ἀθήνησιν ἡ ἱέρεια μὴ θελήσασα καταράσασθαι τῷ
Ἀλκιβιάδῃ τοῦ δήμου κελεύοντος ἔφη γὰρ
εὐχῆς οὐ κατάρας ἱέρεια γεγονέναι. ἢ κοινὸς ὁ τῆς ἐπιορκίας κίνδυνος,
ἂν ἀνὴρ ἀσεβὴς καὶ ἐπίορκος εὐχῶν κατάρχηται καὶ ἱερῶν ὑπὲρ τῆς
πόλεως;
‘διὰ τί τῶν Οὐενεραλίων 1 τῇ ἑορτῇ πολὺν ’
