μεταδίδως, ἀλλὰ τοῖς μὲν, τοῖς δ᾽ οὔ; εἰ δ᾽ ἀλυσιτελεῖς εἶναί
σοι δοκοῦσι, καὶ κατέγνως αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐδὲν ὑγιὲς εἶναι
νομίζεις, τί μὴ καὶ πάντας τούτων ἀποστερεῖς; νῦν δ᾽
ἔοικας οἷς τοὺς μὲν ἄλλους πάντας τῶν δοθέντων ἀποστερεῖς, τοὺς δ᾽ ἀφ᾽ Ἁρμοδίου καὶ Ἀριστογείτονος ταύτας

τιμᾶν ἀξιοῖς. δεῖ γὰρ ἀμφοτέροις μεταδιδόναι τῶν ἴσων.
οἷς δὲ διαιρεῖς, καὶ ἄκων τούτους συνάπτεις, ὡς δέον
