[95]
αἰσθάνομαι δὲ πάθος μοι συμβαῖνον ἐναντίον τοῖς ὀλίγῳ πρότερον εἰρημένοις· τότε μὲν γὰρ εἰς ἄγνοιαν καὶ πλάνον καὶ λήθην ἐνέπεσον, νῦν δʼ οἶδα σαφῶς ἐμαυτὸν οὐκ ἐμμένοντα τῇ πραότητι τῇ περὶ τὸν λόγον, ἣν εἶχον ὅτʼ ἠρχόμην γράφειν αὐτόν, ἀλλὰ λέγειν τʼ ἐπιχειροῦντα περὶ ὧν οὐκ ᾤμην ἐρεῖν, θρασύτερόν τε διακείμενον ἢ κατʼ ἐμαυτόν, ἀκρατῆ τε γιγνόμενον ἐνίων ὧν λέγω διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν εἰπεῖν ἐπιρρεόντων.

[95] I perceive that my feelings are changing to the opposite of those which I described a little while ago. For then I fell into a state of doubt and perplexity and forgetfulness, but now I realize clearly that I am not keeping the mildness of speech which I had when I began to write my discourse; on the contrary, I am venturing to discuss matters about which I did not think that I should speak, I am more aggressive in temper than is my wont, and I am losing control over some of the things which I utter because of the multitude of things which rush into my mind to say.
