[17]
δεινὸν δέ μοι δοκεῖ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, εἶναι, εἰ αὐτοῦ μὲν ἐκείνου θάνατον κατέγνωτε, τοῦ δὲ ὑοῦ ἀδικοῦντος δι᾽ ἐκεῖνον ἀποψηφιεῖσθε, ὃς αὐτὸς μὲν οὐκ ἐτόλμα μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν μάχεσθαι, ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν πολεμίων ἠξίου στρατεύεσθαι. καὶ ὅτε μὲν παῖς ὢν1 οὔπω δῆλος ἦν ὁποῖός τις ἔσται, διὰ τὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ἁμαρτήματα ὀλίγου τοῖς ἕνδεκα παρεδόθη: ἐπειδὴ δὲ πρὸς τοῖς ἐκείνῳ πεπραγμένοις ἐπίστασθε καὶ τὴν τούτου πονηρίαν, διὰ τὸν πατέρα ἐλεεῖν αὐτὸν ἀξιώσετε;
