[203]
τοῦτο δὲ ῥηθὲν οὕτω βραχὺ καὶ μικρὸν αἴτιον ἐγένετο τοῦ μήτε καταλῦσαί με τὸν λόγον ἐφʼ ὧν ἐβουλήθην, ὑπολαβεῖν θʼ ὡς αἰσχρὸν ποιήσω καὶ δεινόν, εἰ παρὼν περιόψομαί τινα τῶν ἐμοὶ πεπλησιακότων πονηροῖς λόγοις χρώμενον. ταῦτα δὲ διανοηθεὶς ἠρόμην αὐτὸν εἰ μηδὲν φροντίζει τῶν παρόντων, μηδʼ αἰσχύνεται λόγον εἰρηκὼς ἀσεβῆ καὶ ψευδῆ καὶ πολλῶν ἐναντιώσεων μεστόν.

[203] This assertion, so brief and so brusque, furnished the reason why I did not close my speech at the point where I was inclined to end it. I thought that it would be shameful and reprehensible on my part to permit one who had been my pupil to make in my presence a statement which was unsound. With this in mind, I asked him whether he had no regard for his present auditors and was not ashamed of having said things which were impious and false and full of many contradictions.
