ὡς οὖν ἀληθῆ λέγω, καὶ ἦρξεν χειρῶν ἀδίκων ὁ Θεόφημος, οὐκ ἄλλοθεν δεῖν οἶμαι τὸν ἔλεγχον γενέσθαι ἢ ἐκ τῆς ἀνθρώπου, ἣν μεμαρτυρήκασιν οὗτοι οἱ μάρτυρες ὡς ἤθελεν ὁ Θεόφημος παραδιδόναι. ταύτῃ δὲ τῇ μαρτυρίᾳ πρότερος εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸ δικαστήριον, οὐ παραγραφομένου ἐμοῦ οὐδ᾽ ὑπομνυμένου διὰ τὸ καὶ πρότερόν ποτε ἐφ᾽ ἑτέρας δίκης ταῦτά με βλάψαι, ἐξηπάτησεν τοὺς δικαστὰς λέγων, οὓς μὲν ἐγὼ παρειχόμην μάρτυρας, τὰ ψευδῆ μαρτυρεῖν, τὴν δὲ ἄνθρωπον ἐρεῖν τὰς ἀληθείας βασανιζομένην.
