ὅτι μὲν οὖν οὔτε πρόνοια ἐγένετο οὔτε ἀδικῶ τοῦτον, ὦ βουλή, ἐκ τοσούτων τεκμηρίων καὶ μαρτυριῶν ὑμῖν ἐπιδέδεικται: ἀξιῶ δ᾽ ὅσον ἂν ἐγένετο σημεῖον τούτῳ πρὸς τὸ δοκεῖν ἀληθῆ λέγειν φυγόντος ἐμοῦ τὴν βάσανον, τοσοῦτον ἐμοὶ τεκμήριον γενέσθαι ὅτι οὐ ψεύδομαι, διότι οὗτος οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐκ τῆς ἀνθρώπου ποιήσασθαι τὸν ἔλεγχον, καὶ μὴ τοσοῦτον ἰσχῦσαι τοὺς τούτου λόγους, ὅτι φησὶν αὐτὴν ἐλευθέραν εἶναι. ὁμοίως γὰρ προσήκει κἀμοὶ τῆς ἐλευθερίας, τὸ ἴσον καταθέντι ἀργύριον.
