[27]
καὶ μέλλοντες ὁρᾶσθαι καὶ ἐν φανερῷ ἀναστρέφεσθαι τοῖς συνειδόσιν αἰσχυντηλοὶ
μᾶλλον εἰσίν: ὅθεν καὶ Ἀντιφῶν ὁ ποιητής, μέλλων ἀποτυμπανίζεσθαι ὑπὸ Διονυσίου, εἶπεν, ἰδὼν τοὺς συναποθνῄσκειν μέλλοντας ἐγκαλυπτομένους ὡς ᾔεσαν διὰ τῶν πυλῶν, “τί ἐγκαλύπτεσθε;” ἔφη: “ἦ μὴ αὔριόν τις ὑμᾶς ἴδῃ τούτων;”
περὶ μὲν οὖν αἰσχύνης ταῦτα: περὶ δὲ ἀναισχυντίας δῆλον
ὡς ἐκ τῶν ἐναντίων εὐπορήσομεν.
