[8] εἶτα, ὦ ἄνδρες δικασταί, εἰ μὲν οὗτοι ἐκινδύνευον, ἠξίουν ἂν τοῖς αὑτῶν οἰκείοις ὑμᾶς¹ πιστεύειν μαρτυροῦσι μᾶλλον ἢ τοῖς κατηγόροις· νυνὶ δὲ ἡμῶν πάντα ταῦτα παρεχομένων ἀξιώσουσιν ὑμᾶς τοῖς αὑτῶν πείθεσθαι λόγοις μᾶλλον ἢ τῷ πατρὶ τῷ Εὐφιλήτου καὶ ἐμοὶ καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ καὶ τοῖς φράτορσι καὶ πάσῃ τῇ ἡμετέρα συγγενείᾳ; καὶ μὴν οὗτοι μὲν οὐδʼ ἐν ἑνὶ² κινδυνεύοντες ἰδίας ἔχθρας ἕνεκα ποιοῦσιν, ἡμεῖς δὲ πάντας ὑποδίκους ἡμᾶς³ αὐτοὺς καθιστάντες μαρτυροῦμεν.

[8] Next, judges, if it were our opponents who were on their trial, they would demand that you should believe the evidence of their kinsmen rather than their accusers; and now, when we produce all these proofs, are they going to demand that you should believe what they say, rather than Euphiletus's father and me and my brother and the members of the ward and all our kindred? Furthermore, our opponents are acting out of personal spite without exposing themselves to any risk, while we are all rendering ourselves liable to the penalties of the law in giving evidence.
