ἀλλʼ ὅμως οὕτω πολὺ τῇ διανοία διεστώτων ἡμῶν, καὶ τοσούτῳ σπουδαιοτέραν ἐμοῦ πεποιημένου τὴν αἵρεσιν, οὐ δικαίως οἱ πολλοὶ περὶ ἡμῶν ὑπειλήφασιν, ἀλλὰ ταραχωδῶς καὶ παντάπασιν ἀλογίστως. τῶν μὲν γὰρ ῥητόρων τὸν τρόπον ψέγοντες προστάτας αὐτοὺς τῆς πόλεως ποιοῦνται καὶ κυρίους ἁπάντων καθιστᾶσιν, ἐμοῦ δὲ τοὺς λόγους ἐπαινοῦντες αὐτῷ μοι φθονοῦσι, διʼ οὐδὲν ἕτερον ἢ διὰ τούτους οὓς ἀποδεχόμενοι τυγχάνουσιν· οὕτως ἀτυχῶς φέρομαι παρʼ αὐτοῖς.

[15] But in spite of the fact that myself and these orators are so far apart in our ways of thinking and that I have chosen a field so much more worthy, the majority of people estimate us, not in accordance with our merits, but in a confused and altogether irrational manner. For they find fault with the character of the popular orators and yet put them at the head of affairs and invest them with power over the whole state; and, again, they praise my discourses and yet are envious of me personally for no other reason than because of these very discourses which they receive with favor. So unfortunately do I fare at their hands.
