[196] τί δὴ μελετήσαντες ἀλλοτρίωσιν τὴν δι’ ἔργων τὴν ἐν λόγῳ συγγένειαν εὐπρεπὲς ὄνομα ὑποδυόμενοι καθυποκρίνεσθε; παραγωγὰς γὰρ καὶ κεκομψευμένας ἀπάτας
οὐκ ἀνέχομαι, διότι ῥᾴδιον μὲν καὶ τῷ τυχόντι εὐπροσώπους λόγους εὑρεῖν, ἤθη δ’ ὑπαλλάξασθαι πονηρὰ χρηστοῖς οὐ ῥᾴδιον.

[196] Why, then, do you, when by your actions you show all possible eagerness to alienate yourselves from them, sheltering yourselves under a plausible name, hypocritically pretend in words to a relationship? For I cannot endure seductive insinuations falsely put on, or any deceit; because it is easy for any persons to find out specious arguments, but it is not easy to change an evil disposition into a good one.
