καὶ μὴν οὐ παροπτέος ἁνὴρ οὐδὲ ἀμελητέος: εἰκότως γὰρ ἠγανάκτει δυστυχῶν ἐπεὶ καὶ ὅμοια
ποιήσομεν τοῖς καταράτοις κόλαξιν ἐκείνοις
[p. 336] ἐπιλελησμένοι ἀνδρὸς τοσαῦτα μηρία ταύρων τε καὶ αἰγῶν πιότατα καύσαντος ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τῶν βωμῶν: ἔτι γοῦν ἐν ταῖς ῥισὶ τὴν κνῖσαν αὐτῶν ἔχω. πλὴν
ὑπ᾽ ἀσχολίας τε καὶ θορύβου πολλοῦ τῶν ἐπιορκούντων καὶ βιαζομένων καὶ ἁρπαζόντων, ἔτι δὲ
καὶ φόβου τοῦ παρὰ τῶν ἱεροσυλούντων — πολλοὶ γὰρ οὗτοι καὶ δυσφύλακτοι καὶ οὐδὲ ἐπ᾽ ὀλίγον καταμύσαι ἡμῖν ἐφιᾶσι — πολὺν ἤδη χρόνον οὐδὲ ἀπέβλεψα ἐς τὴν Ἀττικήν, καὶ μάλιστα ἐξ οὗ
φιλοσοφία καὶ λόγων ἔριδες ἐπεπόλασαν αὐτοῖς: μαχομένων γὰρ πρὸς ἀλλήλους καὶ κεκραγότων
οὐδὲ ἐπακούειν ἔστι τῶν εὐχῶν ὥστε ἢ ἐπιβυσάμενον χρὴ τὰ ὦτα καθῆσθαι ἢ ἐπιτριβῆναι πρὸς
αὐτῶν, ἀρετήν τινα καὶ ἀσώματα καὶ λήρους μεγάλῃ τῇ φωνῇ συνειρόντων. διὰ ταῦτά τοι καὶ
τοῦτον ἀμεληθῆναι συνέβη πρὸς ἡμῶν οὐ φαῦλον
ὄντα.
