Proximum, etsi non eiusdem splendoris est, at aeque certum constantiae haberi potest experimentum. efficacis operae forensis, fidei non latentis Athenis Ephialtes accusare publice iussus et inter ceteros Demostrati nomen deferre coactus est, cuius filius erat Demochares excellentis formae puer, animo eius flagrantissimo inhaerens amore. itaque communis officii sorte truculentus accusator, priuati adfectus condicione miserabilis reus, puerum ad se exorandum quo parcius patris criminibus insisteret uenientem neque repellere neque supplicem genibus suis aduolutum intueri sustinuit, sed operto capite flens et gemens preces expromere passus est nihilominusque sincera fide accusatum Demostratum damnauit. uictoriam nescio laude an tormento maiore partam, quoniam prius quam sontem opprimeret se ipsum uicit Ephialtes.
