καὶ σὺ τοίνυν, φαῖεν ἄν, οὐχ
ὑποκριτής, ἀλλὰ ποιητὴς τῶν καλλίστων καὶ νομοθέτης
γενόμενος ὑπὸ ταυτησὶ τῆς ἰσχάδος παραφανείσης ἠλέγχθης
πίθηκος ὢν καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἄκρου χείλους φιλοσοφῶν καὶ
[p. 323]
ἕτερα μὲν κεύθων ἐνὶ φρεσίν, ἄλλα δὲ λέγων, ὡς εἰκότως
ἄν τινα ἐπὶ σοῦ εἰπεῖν ὅτι ἃ λέγεις καὶ ἐφ᾽ οἷς ἐπαινεῖσθαι
ἀξιοῖς, χείλεα μέν σου ἐδίηνεν, ὑπερῴην δὲ αὐχμῶσαν
καταλέλοιπε. τοιγαροῦν παρὰ πόδας εὐθὺς ἔτισας
δίκην, προπετῶς μὲν θρασυνάμενος πρὸς τὰς ἀνθρώπων
χρείας, μετὰ μικρὸν δὲ μονονουχὶ ὑπὸ κήρυξιν ἐξομοσάμενος
τὴν ἐλευθερίαν. καὶ ἐῴκει ἡ Ἀδράστεια τότε κατόπιν
ἐφεστῶσά σοι εὐδοκιμοῦντι ἐφ᾽ οἷς κατηγόρεις τῶν
ἄλλων, καταγελᾶν ὡς ἂν θεὸς εἰδυῖα τὴν μέλλουσάν σοι
ἐς τὰ ὅμοια μεταβολὴν καὶ ὅτι οὐκ εἰς τὸν κόλπον πτύσας
πρότερον ἠξίους κατηγορεῖν τῶν διὰ ποικίλας τινὰς
τύχας τοιαῦτα πράττειν ὑπομενόντων.
