λέγεται δὲ Σόλωνα Πεισιστράτου τὴν φυλακὴν αἰτοῦντος ἀντιλέξαι καὶ εἰπεῖν ὅτι τῶν μὲν εἴη σοφώτερος, τῶν δʼ ἀνδρειότερος· ὅσοι μὲν γὰρ ἀγνοοῦσι Πεισίστρατον ἐπιτιθέμενον τυραννίδι, σοφώτερος εἶναι τούτων, ὅσοι δʼ εἰδότες κατασιωπῶσιν, ἀνδρειότερος. ἐπεὶ δὲ λέγων οὐκ ἔπειθεν, ἐξαράμενος τὰ ὅπλα πρὸ τῶν θυρῶν, αὐτὸς μὲν ἔφη βεβοηθηκέναι τῇ πατρίδι, καθʼ ὅσον ἦν δυνατός ʽἤδη γὰρ σφόδρα πρεσβύτης ἦν̓, ἀξιοῦν δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους ταὐτὸ τοῦτο ποιεῖν.
