ταῦτα δʼ ὅτι τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον ἔσχεν οἵ τʼ ἄλλοι συμφωνοῦσι πάντες, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν τῇ ποιήσει μέμνηται περὶ αὐτῶν ἐν τοῖσδε· δήμῳ μὲν γὰρ ἔδωκα τόσον γέρας, ὅσσον ἀπαρκεῖ, τιμῆς οὔτʼ ἀφελὼν οὔτʼ ἐπορεξάμενος· οἳ δʼ εἶχον δύναμιν καὶ χρήμασιν ἦσαν ἀγητοί, καὶ τοῖς ἐφρασάμην μηδὲν ἀεικὲς ἔχειν. ἔστην δʼ ἀμφιβαλὼν κρατερὸν σάκος ἀμφοτέροισι, νικᾶν δʼ οὐκ εἴασʼ οὐδετέρους ἀδίκως.
