ἀλλὰ γράψασθαι νὴ Δί᾽ ἕκαστον ἔστιν, ὃ κἀγὼ νυνὶ πεποίηκα: κἀνταῦθα, ἂν ἀπαλλάξῃ τις τὸν ἐπιστάντα, ἡ πόλις παρακέκρουσται. τίς οὖν μόνη φυλακὴ καὶ δικαία καὶ βέβαιος τῶν νόμων; ὑμεῖς οἱ πολλοί: οὔτε γὰρ τὸ γνῶναι καὶ δοκιμάσαι τὸ βέλτιστον ἐξελέσθαι δύναιτ᾽ ἂν ὑμῶν οὐδὲ εἷς, οὔτ᾽ ἀπαλλάξας καὶ διαφθείρας πεῖσαι τὸν χείρω θέσθαι νόμον ἀντὶ τοῦ κρείττονος.
