καὶ οὕτως ἰσχυρῶς ἀπιστεῖ τοῖς ὑπευθύνοις, ὥστ᾽ εὐθὺς ἀρχόμενος τῶν νόμων,1 ‘ἀρχὴν ὑπεύθυνον,’ φησί, ‘μὴ ἀποδημεῖν:’ ‘ὦ Ἡράκλεις,’ ὑπολάβοι ἄν τις, ‘ὅτι ἦρξα, μὴ ἀποδημήσω;’ ἵνα γε μὴ προλαβὼν χρήματα τῆς πόλεως ἢ πράξεις δρασμῷ χρήσῃ. πάλιν ὑπεύθυνον οὐκ ἐᾷ τὴν οὐσίαν καθιεροῦν, οὐδὲ ἀνάθημα ἀναθεῖναι, οὐδ᾽ ἐκποίητον γενέσθαι, οὐδὲ διαθέσθαι τὰ ἑαυτοῦ, οὐδ᾽ ἄλλα πολλά: ἑνὶ δὲ λόγῳ ἐνεχυράζει τὰς οὐσίας ὁ νομοθέτης τὰς τῶν ὑπενθύνων, ἕως ἂν λόγον ἀποδῶσι τῇ πόλει.
