[4] Καίσων μὲν οὖν τοιαύτῃ περιπεσὼν ἐπιβουλῇ, κατασκευασαμένων ἅπαντα τῶν δημάρχων καὶ Οὐολουσκίου ψευδῆ μαρτυρήσαντος, ὡς ἐγένετο φανερὸν σὺν χρόνῳ, φεύγων εἰς Τυρρηνίαν ᾤχετο: ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ τὰ πλεῖστα τῆς οὐσίας ἀπεμπολήσας καὶ τὰ ὁμολογηθέντα ὑπὸ τῶν ἐγγυητῶν χρήματα ἀποδοὺς ἑαυτῷ χωρίον ἓν μικρὸν ὑπολειπόμενος πέραν τοῦ Τεβέριος ποταμοῦ, [p. 14] ἐν ᾧ ταπεινή τις ἦν καλύβη, γεωργῶν αὐτόθι μετὰ δούλων ὀλίγων ἐπίπονον καὶ ταλαίπωρον ἔζη βίον ὑπὸ λύπης τε καὶ πενίας, οὔτε πόλιν ὁρῶν οὔτε φίλους ἀσπαζόμενος οὔθ᾽ ἑορτάζων οὔτ᾽ ἄλλης εὐφροσύνης οὐδεμιᾶς ἑαυτῷ μεταδιδούς. τοῖς μέντοι δημάρχοις πολὺ τὸ παράλογον ἐγένετο τῆς ἐλπίδος. οὐ γὰρ ὅπως ἐπαύσατο ἡ τῶν νέων φιλοτιμία σωφρονισθεῖσα τῇ Καίσωνος συμφορᾷ, πολὺ δὲ χαλεπωτέρα καὶ πλείων ἐγένετο ἔργοις τε καὶ λόγοις καταγωνιζομένη τὸν νόμον: ὥστ᾽ οὐθὲν ἔτι αὐτοῖς ἐξεγένετο διαπράξασθαι δαπανηθέντος εἰς ταῦτα τοῦ χρόνου τῆς ἀρχῆς. ὁ μέντοι δῆμος εἰς τὸν ἐπιόντα πάλιν ἐνιαυτὸν ἄρχοντας ἀπέδειξεν αὐτούς.
