συνιδὼν δή τις ταῦτα νομοθέτης, τίθησι νόμον οὐδὲν ἐπικοινωνοῦντα τῷ περὶ τῶν ὑπὸ τοῦ δήμου στεφανουμένων νόμῳ, οὔτε λύσας ἐκεῖνον: οὐδὲ γὰρ ἡ ἐκκλησία ἠνωχλεῖτο, ἀλλὰ τὸ θέατρον: οὔτ᾽ ἐναντίον τοῖς πρότερον κειμένοις νόμοις τιθείς: οὐ γὰρ ἔξεστιν: ἀλλὰ περὶ τῶν ἄνευ ψηφίσματος ὑμετέρου στεφανουμένων ὑπὸ τῶν φυλετῶν καὶ δημοτῶν, καὶ περὶ τῶν τοὺς οἰκέτας ἀπελευθερούντων, καὶ περὶ τῶν ξενικῶν στεφάνων, καὶ διαρρήδην ἀπαγορεύει μήτ᾽ οἰκέτην ἀπελευθεροῦν ἐν τῷ θεάτρῳ, μήθ᾽ ὑπὸ τῶν φυλετῶν ἢ δημοτῶν ἀναγορεύεσθαι στεφανούμενον, ‘μήθ᾽ ὑπ᾽ ἄλλου,’ φησί, ‘μηδενός, ἢ ἄτιμον εἶναι τὸν κήρυκα.’
