[2] ὑμεῖς τε γάρ, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, ῥᾷον παρακολουθήσετε ἅπασι τοῖς λεγομένοις, καὶ οὗτοι ἐπιδειχθήσονται οἷοί εἰσιν ἄνθρωποι, καὶ ὅτι πάλαι ἤδη ἀρξάμενοι οὐδὲν παύονται κακοτεχνοῦντες καὶ οἰόμενοι δεῖν διαπράττεσθαι ὅ τι ἂν ἐπέλθῃ τούτοις. δεόμεθα οὖν ὑμῶν, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, εὐνοϊκῶς ἀκροάσασθαι τῶν λεγομένων καὶ παρακολουθεῖν προσέχοντας τὸν νοῦν. πειράσομαι δὲ κἀγὼ διδάσκειν ὡς ἂν οἷός τε ὦ σαφέστατα περὶ τῶν πεπραγμένων.

We therefore beg of you, men of the jury, to listen to our arguments with goodwill, and to follow with close attention. And I, on my part, will endeavor to give you the clearest information I can concerning the facts.
