ἐπεὶ δ᾽ ὁμολογοῦντες πολλάκις πεπραχέναι
ἢ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα οὐχ ὁμολογοῦσιν ἢ περὶ ὃ τὸ ἐπίγραμμα, οἷον λαβεῖν μὲν ἀλλ᾽ οὐ κλέψαι, καὶ πατάξαι πρότερον ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ὑβρίσαι, καὶ συγγενέσθαι ἀλλ᾽ οὐ μοιχεῦσαι, ἢ κλέψαι μὲν ἀλλ᾽ οὐχ ἱεροσυλῆσαι (οὐ γὰρ θεοῦ
τι), ἢ ἐπεργάσασθαι μὲν ἀλλ᾽ οὐ δημοσίαν, ἢ διειλέχθαι μὲν τοῖς πολεμίοις ἀλλ᾽ οὐ προδοῦναι, διὰ ταῦτα δέοι ἂν καὶ περὶ τούτων διωρίσθαι, τί κλοπή, τί ὕβρις, τί μοιχεία, ὅπως ἐάν τε ὑπάρχειν ἐάν τε μὴ ὑπάρχειν βουλώμεθα δεικνύναι ἔχωμεν ἐμφανίζειν τὸ δίκαιον.
