ὁ μὲν οὖν Ἀντίφιλος ἔτι καὶ νῦν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐστίν, ὁ δὲ Δημήτριος καὶ τὰς αὑτοῦ δισμυρίας ἐκείνῳ καταλιπὼν ᾤχετο ἀπιὼν εἰς τὴν Ἰνδικὴν
παρὰ τοὺς Βραχμᾶνας, τοσοῦτον εἰπὼν πρὸς τὸν Ἀντίφιλον, ὡς συγγνωστὸς ἂν εἰκότως νομίζοιτο ἤδη ἀπολιπὼν αὐτόν οὔτε γὰρ αὐτὸς δεῖσθαι τῶν χρημάτων, ἔστ᾽ ἂν αὐτὸς ᾖ ὅπερ ἐστίν, ἀρκεῖσθαι ὀλίγοις δυνάμενος, οὔτε ἐκείνῳ ἔτι δεῖν φίλου, εὐμαρῶν αὐτῷ τῶν πραγμάτων γεγενημένων. τοιοῦτοι, ὦ Τόξαρι, οἱ Ἕλληνες φίλοι. εἰ δὲ
μὴ προδιεβεβλήκεις ἡμᾶς ὡς ἐπὶ ῥήμασι μέγα φρονοῦντας, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἄν σοι τοὺς λόγους διεξῆλθον, πολλοὺς καὶ ἀγαθοὺς ὄντας, οὓς ὁ Δημήτριος εἶπεν ἐν τῷ δικαστηρίῳ, ὑπὲρ αὑτοῦ μὲν οὐδὲν ἀπολογούμενος, ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἀντιφίλου δέ, καὶ δακρύων προσέτι καὶ ἱκετεύων καὶ τὸ πᾶν ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτὸν ἀναδεχόμενος, ἄχρι μαστιγούμενος ὁ Σύρος ἀμφοτέρους ἀφίησιν αὐτούς.
