[185] ἀπολογουμένων δὲ ὅσα ὁ καιρὸς καὶ περί τε σοῦ τοῦ πατρὸς διεξιόντων καὶ τῶν ἀπολειπομένων ἀδελφῶν, ἑνὸς μὲν τοῦ τεθνεῶτος, ἑτέρου δὲ τοῦ παρὰ σοὶ διατρίβοντος, ὃν ἔφαμεν ἔτι νέον ὄντα διὰ τὴν ἡλικίαν οἴκοι καταμεῖναι, πάντα ἀπαμπίσχοντες καὶ ἀπογυμνοῦντες τὰ τῆς συγγενείας εἰς τὸ ἀνύποπτον
οὐδὲν ἠνύσαμεν, ἀλλ’ ἔφη μόνην ἂν αὐτῷ πίστιν ἀψευδοῦς ὁμολογίας γενέσθαι τὴν ὡς αὐτὸν ἄφιξιν τοῦ νεωτάτου παιδός, οὗ χάριν καὶ τὸν δεύτερον κατεσχηκέναι ῥύσιόν τε καὶ ἐνέχυρον ἐκείνου.

[185] And when we said all that the time would allow us to say in our defence, and mentioned you as being our father, and the brothers who were not of our company, one of them being dead, and the other remaining with you, who we said tarried behind at home on account of his age, inasmuch as he was still a child, making known and revealing to him all the circumstances of our family by reason of our absence of all suspicion, we availed nothing; but he said, that the only proof that could be given him of our truth and honesty would be the coming of our youngest brother to see him; for which reason he also detained the second of us, as a pledge and surety for his coming.
