ἡ μὲν γὰρ ἑκουσίως καὶ βουλεύσασα τὸν θάνατον <ἀπέκτεινεν>,1 ὁ δ᾽ ἀκουσίως καὶ βιαίως ἀπέθανε. πῶς γὰρ οὐ βιαίως ἀπέθανεν, ὦ ἄνδρες; ὅς γ᾽ ἐκπλεῖν ἔμελλεν ἐκ τῆς γῆς τῆσδε, παρά τε ἀνδρὶ φίλῳ αὑτοῦ εἱστιᾶτο: ἡ δὲ πέμψασα τὸ φάρμακον καὶ κελεύσασα ἐκείνῳ δοῦναι πιεῖν ἀπέκτεινεν ἡμῶν τὸν πατέρα. πῶς οὖν ταύτην ἐλεεῖν ἄξιόν ἐστιν ἢ αἰδοῦς τυγχάνειν παρ᾽ ὑμῶν ἢ ἄλλου του; ἥτις αὐτὴ οὐκ ἠξίωσεν ἐλεῆσαι τὸν ἑαυτῆς ἄνδρα, ἀλλ᾽ ἀνοσίως καὶ αἰσχρῶς ἀπώλεσεν.
